It's actually sitting in my backyard right now. not running and no money to fix it. Someday i'll fix her up, but it will be a while.

that is essentially what i did. Starts with no issues from that. Now on to the heads soon.

thanks for the heads up. can anyone with a 1400 confirm if they will come off without pulling the motor? to me there doesn't seem to be enough room.

just making sure i had a clue. thanks.

That's what i thought, but it looks to be the tranny case as well. am i incorrect in this assumption?

this is going to sound very ignorant, but when we are talking about the bellhousing... what exactelly is it?

Me too. with the current car issues i'm thinking about going to a EA71 if it is that easy. One thing i wonder. It says i need the EA71 bellhousing, so i'm guessing they mean to swap the parts from the EA63 tranny into the 71 bellhousing, but i'm only assuming. If that is the case, what is stopping someone from just using a ea71 tranny?

found this site about engine swaps. http://www.vintagesubaruparts.com/engswap.htm is this info decent? i'm really considering finding an ea71 and the related parts if it is all true. Input?

I want to pull the head and go from there, but can i do it without pulling the motor?

and after hooking up my compressor, it is just dumping out of the exhaust valve.

is the head capable of being pulled off without pulling the motor?

checked and adjusted valves and i still have almost no compression on the #2 cylinder. What's the next step to look at? Thanks,

Sorry, i forgot to mention that i figured it out. My light issues was unrelated, but happened at the same time. Thanks though.

any specific instructions for checking, and adjusting the valves?

guess i need to find one in good shape or find one really cheap that i can rebuild.
