so do I go with an EA81 or an EA82? EA81 is going to cost me $1,100. Is this Brat worth putting a new engine in or shall I salvage it out? needs a new paint job($350-$500). not much surface rust. new radiator and front axles. 153,000 mi. Salvage or Rebuild?

To me, it would all depend on if it has any rust. How do the subframe rails look? How about the rear wheel wells? I am a big fan of older subaru preservation, and I hate to see anymore bite the dust! Kurt
Ain't much rust.

I got $1800 into my brat. It's spray painted OD green and obviously needs a new paint job($350-$500). The crank case broke, needs new engine. I can get a new EA81 from CCR for $1,100. To have somebody install it will probably cost at least $300.
Should I put another $1800 into it, or should part out and salvage? Would the thing sell for $3600 with new engine and paint? Is this thing really worth rebuilding? Could I make enough off it to part out?
Input would be greatly appreciated.

Replaced head gaskets and engine didn't run, so I took it to an automachanic; and he says the crankcase to broke. Come to find out this 86 brat's engine has been replace some where down the line with an 83 engine. Anyway it needs a new engine.
What engine do you recommend? I want an ultimate offroading machine with good gas milage. I've been suggested an EJ22 and an EJ25. I've also heard of a Mazda WRX STI engine, but I think it's 2x4. What's the best 4x4, good gas milage, affordable replacement? I'm 17 and I only got $1800 in the bank. I need transportation now. Who do I buy my engine from? Replies would be appreciated

Talk money. Got $1800 into it. Could have it professionally painted for you. It has bed liner below the mid trim-line and in the bed.
