DrKrazy Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Well looks like I will have 1 if not 2 low mileage 2.2 engines sitting around soon. Long story, but someone screwed up the crank while doing timing belts before I bought my wife's legacy. So I bought a 60k mile motor to put into it, am taking the really good running (but pulley welded to crank) 110k motor out. On top of that I ran by yet another complete and running 130k mile motor with all the wiring harnesses etc..Now the question is do I save them for my XT project if I find one? Would try to put it in my 2wd DL but not worth it, and that 1.8 only has 133k anyways. Suggestions..I like the 85-90 Subies but the transmissions don't bolt up to the 2.2's right?

BobBrumby Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Nah the 2.2 wont bolt up to the ea tranny you will need an adapter plate. I think there is someone on the board has done this but if not you should try the back-yard boys forum, http://www.ausubaru.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi , they have heaps of posts on this type of thing in the conversion section.

subusolo2nut Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Well, I'm putting one in T-Rex (with lots of mods)--The modern AWD 5 speed would be nice in a '80/'86 Hatch----light & LOTS of power---I'm just using the 5speed/2WD box--will work great for autocross--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Isn't this a new gen topic? (Not that I care, but you'll get more info there). Not quite, new gen engine in an old gen car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
