Sweet deal. Couldn't pass this up.

 

The guy who built the lift is really cool. His intentions were originally for a transfercase as well. You can see the a rear diff mounted at the front. None of the T-case support is built. He was going to have SOLID motor mounts to the frame hence the pillars with plates welded to them.

 

I think I am going to take it back to a conventional Subaru layout, and just utilize the 5spd D/R already stuffed in there. EJ22 in front of it will be plenty of power to turn the 30 in tires that will go on it. (about 28's on there now 225/75/15)

Nice! How sweet a deal we talkin'? I also have an '84 wagon that's begging for a 4" lift and a 5 speed. Would love a 6" but thats too much angle for the amount of driving i plan to do. How's the interior? Looks pretty straight, should clean up nicely. :banana:

I got her for $375, trailered to my shop.

 

Not sure I understand what you mean by *too much angle* If you drop all suspension by the same amount you could do a 20 inch lift with no change in angles for CV shafts

 

 

Interior is rough, filled with extra parts and steel.

 

5spd D/R is the only thing in the engine bay.

 

Original running EA81 and 4spd D/R were included, but removed from car and seperate. Looks as though it was stored well(bag over the carb, aircleaner bolted back on)

i like how the front section of that lift is built. any more pics of the rest of the lift by chance?

 

There will be lot's more pics as the clean up and reworking gets underway.

 

I hope to be wheelin it by the end of April.

 

Biggest hurdle now is the 2.2 wiring.

 

I might drop it's Hydro EA81 back in it to get it drivng and do the 2.2 swap later, but I hate doing stuff twice. it'll be way easier to do while it's all apart.
