Yo'J

Ha! Is a project car ever done? "Just one last thing.......":lol:

How did you get the angle of the steering shaft right?

I'm wondering about the latch being locked or unlocked. Would it have to be unlocked or is the go around doable with just the bottom latch. I'll poke in there today.

I rigged one in my ea82 wagon but really haven't been able to figure one for the ea81 yet. Has anyone an idea for one? Its my main camping rig and it would make getting out a lot easier .

How do you find this stuff out? You all blow my mind sometimes....

My ea81 doors take a different style of key than to the ignition.

I'd think about wheel bearings when you get the chance as they might have gotten a bit of wear. That would scare the crapes out of me.

Wouldn't you want to know everything was done perfect and know where it was? So you can know how to fix it.

It would be nice if they distributed here, some of those tires look mighty slick!

Get the turbo tank, its baffled so you could... uh, EJ it! Nice job btw!

I have mine off manifold vacuum, it should be able to accumulate safely and get pulled into the motor to get burned at low rpm is what my original thinking...I think, was, I have to go look.

Sorry monsartru I didn't mean to offend you or get in they way of your dilligence. Now, Mr Hincher, your work is beautiful.

I left my charcoal canister with my weber, for the vent. Gas expands and contracts with the temp and I wanted to be safe. I also put a return on the carb. Could it be pressure related? Are the vent and return lines just kind of pointed up, so gas might drip in, capped or not?

For the really big water crossings:banana: 36s on an ejed brat with lots of foam and some sheet metal to skim the bottom and top gear here we come ! A pto would be the next far fetched mod Id pipe dream about! That would make a killer lumber wagon! Winch out some timbers and mill away on your roomill. Put a backhoe on the rear? Whatever you need. You are already making a 4 wd roo tractor!

A propeller shaft for the rear diff!

I put the legacy one in my brat by installing two tabs on the core support for the pins and grommets on the radiator bottom and just zip tying the top on. It fit rather nicely. I just didn't want to bolt the top on without a bracket or spacer that I havent built yet. If its for an ea81 engine I'd bet you could use the factory legacy overflow bottle too.

Thats a hundred dollar board if I ever saw one. Good looking curly maple.

Ball joints and radius rod bushings are easy to fix together. I would just do both at the same time for the ease of labor. Its nice to know they are done. Subies have a 'little bit' of torque steer too. A steering rack issue would show itself when braking by steering wheel wobble.

Any revelations? Hows it looking?

Dont feel bad. It seems I cant find a car that the heads dont need to be done on. Know your not alone. I've done the ea82, ej22 and now ea81, I had 2 motors go and I'm fixing the last one now.

To make it look pretty/professsional in my Brat.... I really didn't succeed but its a fitting away from all subaru.

From a brat? How? My ej lines end metric female without a flair cone and the ea81 lines end male flaired or you got that silly fitting that shoves the lines into the ej exhaust thats female- female. I re-bent my ea81 lines to the other side of the crosdsmember and got a metric fitting from compression to compression, cut the ea81 line to use the compression and stuffed it to the ejs (thankfully) same thread pattern. Return...well you know. Ea82.... I dunno. Been to long.

Do all the stuff you can do while the engine is out but don't forget to do all the stuff you need to do while the engine is still in the donor vehicle. If it doesn't work right when it comes out of the donor, what are you to do to diagnose problems when its in a new car.

Also on the same note Fittings inc can do you up for cheap as they supply most of the places with hardwear yet are open to the public and make their own hoses in house. They talked me out of $100 hoses for a $2.65 fitting for my ej swap.
