it was worth asking, if you want more power in your subaru you could swap in a legacy 2.2 engine, that would be 130-145HP and it would work with the stock transmission, just make an adaptor, wire it up, do alot more stuff and you have it, plus it's been done before so you can get alot better advice

okay then, you have an EA82. if the transmission can take the power, and I don't think it can, you wound just have to make an adaptor. what I said before is probabaly true, you would have to adapt a legacy tranny to the car and the engine, which is alot of work

is it four wheel drive? because if it is a 4wd 5 speed it has to be an ea82

Wait, now what is in this thing? he said it had two headlights, maybe it is a DL then I have to reserve my advice untill I find out what this really is

you mean putting both the engine and transmission in? I assume that the porshe is a front engine, rear wheel drive car and you have a 4 wheel drive subaru right? then if the transmission fits it could be done, you will probabaly have to use a stronger axle, and the porshe has probabaly a solid axle, which wouldn't work in the subaru, you might have to get a legacy rear axle and adapt it to fit in (p.s. you have an EA82, EA81's have 4 headlights usually (GL=4/DL=2), a 4 speed manuals, and ohv carbs unless turboed, then it's mpfi)

was the stock engine overhead cam? of just overhead valve? how many headlights are on it? If it is a manual, is it a 4 or 5 speed

either way, the engine is small enough to fit, but that is way too much power for either type, over twice that of the more powerfull of the two, neither transmission could take it, you would have to take a tranny from an EJ car and adapt it, which means you neeed to make transmission mounts, a driveshaft, and halfshafts to fit it in, and modify the shift linkages probabaly

were the 88 GL hatches EA81's or 82's? anybody on the board know?

to my knowledge nobody has done this before and I have no Idea how close the mounts are to each other. you would have to make an engine to transmission adaptor and modify the engine mounts. what size engine is this and how much power does it make? it may be too big for the engine compartment or too powerfull for the transmission, but probabaly not, since it is a 50's engine.

cool

your not looking hard enough, locally, I have found: 2 gen2 brat 2 Gen 1 brats ea81 gl-10 coupe ea81 hatch justy 3 xt & many other ea82s

at least it is better than a Gorp engine

what is with the outbacks being both imprezza and legacy, did they switch back and forth making imprezza outbacks for a couple of years, the back to legacy?

did the 93-97 imprezas have a 2.2 engine? they moved up to 2.5 in 98 right?

ea82 fit and bolt up to the transmission, but you will have do deal with wiring

Gft?

EA82s can crack heads when they overheat, thats whey there are 3 generations of them

3500 when driving, 5 thousand when having fun

get it, my brat has 205,000 on it and it runs like new, and if the engine quits, get a new one, the engines are a dime a dozen.

not many gl's had them either

could we get an update on the calendars? It has been two months since the last post

Ally = Aluminum?

looks like you have mostly 2.0 and 1.6 liters I like the justy too do you have a picture of your van?

My loyale had a problem like this, I ended up replacing the transmission. you prob. have either a bad govenor (mine was cored flat in the center) or bad bands\clutches. Mine had both. It would be alot less work to just replace it with a transmission of your choice. I just bolted in the same type. there are 3 levels of difficulty to go with: (Easy to Hard) 1. replace it with the same type of transmission, complete bolt on 2. replace it with a manual, tranny bolts to engine and drivetrain no problem, but you have to mount a pedal box and do some other stuff 3. tear apart the tranny to fix it. number three is not worth it.

mine has almost 206K
