Hey guys I may have just had a sweet deal drop into my lap for a subaru 2.5 engine and trans (local wreck). Might also have the opportunity to grab some other parts off of it. Looking through the Suby build threads, it looks like most everyone grabs the ECU, Wiring Harness, and instrument cluster.
What other goodies would you recommend I grab? I wouldn't be doing the swap right away but I'd love to get as much as I can now when it's all coming out of the same car. Appreciate the feedback |

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I wonder what my wife would do if she came home one day and there was an entire subaru covered up in the back yard next to the pool. I know what I'd say...."Hey, that's less grass I have to mow this summer"
Anyway, So he called me back with some good news/bad news. The BAD: he just finished putting the motor into a family member's car because no one ever made him an offer. Says he had it on Craigslist for a few weeks, a few calls but no offers. Says he was asking $850 for the engine & trans together. It came out of a 99 Forrester SOHC 2.5. The GOOD: He's a subaru nut with his own shop and says he comes across a lot of donors. So he's keeping an eye out for another SOHC 2.5 for me:) What do you guys think about his price and the higher mileage? Probably would've been good for another 100k I'd think. Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) |
