1985 Subaru gl w/ '99 EJ2.2l swap


I completed the motor swap in 2008 removing the carbureted 1.8l with a severely cracked head (dramaticized on our way back to WA from Moab, UT, #3 spark plug was green from antifreeze when we put-putted back into the driveway). Found a 1999 Legacy on Craigslist and pulled the engine and wiring harness, built my own exhaust, bought an SJR adapter plate and away it goes!

Goodies include XT four wheel disk brakes and sway bars, power steering rack, 6-bolt wheel conversion, Impreza front seats, 2" receiver for bike rack use only. I've put over 50k since the swap and road trips include Vegas, lake tahoe, long beach, ca (twice)

This is what I came up with for exhaust, had to completely build it from the block to the tail pipe.
