Newer Subaru Model Suspension into a '91 Loyale

Hello good people,

I have a stock Ea71 Leone that I plan to lift and upgrade to an EJ but before I start pouring my cash into this project I would like to know wether I can be assured that this car might make it through the next ten or so years. 

I am in Nairobi, Kenya, (Africa lol) and getting Leone spares is very hard, most Loyales on the road are struggling to even idle let alone make it from point a to b.

Thus my question is, (assuming I am willing to modify anything and everything) can the suspension(i.e axles, cv, hubs e.tc) be swapped with newer model subarus? and which ones are easier to work with?

This question has been asked dozens, if not hundreds of times. To my knowledge, it was only done once (A brat in england), and as I recall, he regretted doing it...

 

 

For the rear, the only part that would be bolt-on is the driveshaft-to-differential flange. All the suspension mounts, crossmember, strut mounts, everything would have to be fabricated. It's been done, but it's a huge amount of precision fabrication.

 

You can use some front components with some XT6 parts for a 5-lug swap.
