Good Idea!
Warren, Thanks for taking the initiative and starting the new list! I think there are so many of us now that we could use a little support. I'm installing my engine now, in an '82 ex-diesel Westy.

GET All SUBARU ITEMS FROM SAME CAR!
Just another plug for the importance of Kennedy's recommendation for making the extra effort to get all the items from the same Subaru. I found that a lot of wrecking yards have already pulled the

Syncro Skid Rails-Remove rear only.
For those with Syncros. First step in dropping the waterboxe is to remove the special Syncro skid rails. I ended up removing them all, front to back, but realized this is not necessary. The rear

Tip for dropping Wasserboxer.
This might save you some time. Took me a couple of hours of frustration to figure out. I got everything disconnected, engine to tranny bolts,wiring, splash plates, motor mounts, etc., but COULDN'T

Now that I'm "FARFRUMLEAKIN". What do I do with this Wasserboxer with rod through the block. It was an almost new rebuild (why did it blow??)with new heads. Anyone else find any value in the

Very Interested in this group
Hiya fellow Subagonites?: I have seen said conversion done, and it looks pretty good. The one I saw had a cooling system that seemed cobbled together, and the harness was not quite as pretty as I
