brought my old white wheeler back to life
a few years ago it stated out as a stock 87 ea82 wagon, it now has a 5" lift up front and
a not sure 6+ lift in rear , last weekend took it ouf for the first time in over a year
to Walker Valley , in the last few weeks I dropped in a rebuilt 91 EJ 2.2 with Delta Low tork Cams ,
with a Ford Escort Disty and a Weber Carb, this machine has no computers or sensors anyway
heres some pics
Also I installed a Nissan 720 4x4 pickup front Diff , axles and Hubs,in the rear, the diff bolts right in with
no mods to car mounts or driveline, I had to cut off the bearing end of the stock soobbie swingarm and
weld up mounts for the truck knuckle , so now I have 4.38s in the rear, so Im running
30" tires ( wore 31 x 10.50s) on the front and 33" tires on the rear , also the diffs welded up so now
I have a stronger rear axle set up and unlocking rear hubs for onroad use
I really like the feel and nimbleness of the Subaru car, I just got tired of having the stock rear axles
and hollow stub shafts break, I also like the mid car ground clearence with no extra tranfercase or
tranny, this combination is Awesome, good power even with the stock wimpy gears from a
stock EA82 3.9 Dualrange , the EJ with the Delta cams is the ticket, this car has come a long
way since I first built it, way more power, less weight and now for the first time a strong rear axle
and 33s are nice
Future plans:
fenders made out of small tubing and sheet metal,
rollbar.
side sliders
replace all 4 doors with straight ones, add rectangular tubing on doors to act as tree sliders
5000 ATV winch
long range fiberglass kit of nose and tail
