sub-buggie Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have been kiking around the thought of hooking a subaru engine to a RWD trans for install into some custom cars I have been looking at I know you can use a 4X4 trans and plug the front shafts but it seems that it would be extra chance of something breaking. my thought is that they make adapters for sub-VW and ford 2.3-vw so why not a sub engine-ford 5 speed. with the right mesurements it should not be that hard. what do you all think?

GLCraig Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It's could be done. Someone posted a year or two ago about how he mounted a Powerglide to a EJ22 when he built a rock crawler. Comming up with an adapter for an automatic maybe a better way to go since there would be fewer thing to match up and make work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroadsubaruguy Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 try a nissan 240 tranny, the input shaft is a perfect match from what i hear, and you can remove the bell housing..... so a little modificcation of a cut off subaru one might bolt on without too many problems...... just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
