Guest Shemaryahu Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I know this has been discussed before, but after reading through the archives, I still have no clue regarding the approximate costs or work needed to perform this swap. I just purchased an 86 XT GL off eBay which I will be picking up and driving home in a week or so (once all the paperwork is settled). I currently have a 93 Legacy L FWD with a 5MT in it that is basically a parts car (the cost of fixing the Legacy is more than it's blue book value, so I said screw this and bought the XT). The engine and tranny in the Legacy are in great shape. Since I already have the complete car, how much work/money would I be looking at to swap the engine and tranny from the Legacy into the XT? Keep in mind that I would have to go to a shop to get all this work done. Regards, Greggory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMX Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hey Greggory, I'm loking to do the same exact thing, except my EJ22 tranny is shot and I am putting into a 90 4WD Loyale, keeping the Loyale transmission. Let me know what you find out. daudi@durango.net DMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 first, this is the old gen forum you want the retro fitting forum second, try the search function this is a very common swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88HatchMonster Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 OMG. I wish a mod would lock this... It's a resurrected 3 year old thread (posted before there was a retrofitting forum). DMX, the EJ-EA swap is very common now. Please do a search for EJ22+EA82+swap. You need an adapter plate to swap in an EJ and keep your Loyale tranny. I sell the adapter plates. Contact me if you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
