I got a little excited (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) ....I told a friend and he got excited (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Result?
We're the new owners of a (crustier than anticipated) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 1975 with 2.7 Subaru /6. I think we bit off more than we can deal with, not sure. Bought the car based on a few pictures and bought remotely. Car has been sitting for about 3 years. Engine is a 2.7 Subaru ER JDM SOHC . Car threw one of the timing belts and owner says he parked it. Our intent was to get a decent car, fix it up a little drive it around for a few months; then maybe sell it and start again with a different car...friend is new to all this. SO as the car arrived and was put up on a lift at a friends shop; things unfold... This one is probably toast or too old to deal with. May be missing the ECU. Probably looking at needing a new engine; can keep Subaru if easy or go small bock chevy. I don't know anything about Subaru engines so not sure if this mount and adaptor will work. Also this cable shifter looks complicated. Just learned some of the car car work is documented here; maybe someone here knows the car....it's not in the database. My first inclination is to sell it as is to somebody with the means to turn it into a cool car. PM me if this is your dream project.... So looking for any advice in regards to "what would you do if you were me". Very limited on budget, space, spousal cooperation, etc. $.02 comment have validity so open to hear ideas. |

Wow, Eric Tischer, that sure brings back some memories.
I'd throw another Subaru motor in it and enjoy it. |

Any insight would be appreciated. I am thinking another sub motor. Another 6 or turbo 4? Will the motor mounts and adaptor be the same? I find myself wondering what you had in mind when you bought the car. I mean I would be excited too. Looks like a really fun project. Still it might easily require money, space and spousal approval to unleash the fun. Good luck. |
