    would it be possible to take the 1.6L 4cyl out of a 92 subaru loyale and put it into a mini truck? just thinking it might be like the german one...


    what do you guys think?

    I believe that Colin has been working on something similar. But he doesn't post on here as much lately. :(

    hmm cause i have access to a free 92 loyale. we sold it years ago to some guy, they took the motor out, put in a new one. but to my understanding its rusted out or something.. have to go get it some day and see what the whole story is. but figured that motor might be nice in a subaru :D

    Well, it DOES run and drive. Just not so well. My thoughts are it may not make it to the edge of town though!

    KNOCKITY KNOCK

    well the subaru loyale has made the trip home. dad wants the tires/rims for his truck lol. all new + old set in the hatch.

    It is not nearly as rusted as my dad said it was. it has some fender issue and a couple doors have the bottom issue but nothing too bad i think.

    Anyhow the Alternator is gone!! got it home, popped the hood to see if there was a battery and how it looked under and i was like "hello.. the alternator is gone" And the guy that gave it to us said the tranny is gone. one cold -40 morning he fired it up to go to hockey and said he didnt let it warm up and it wouldnt go. so i dunno if it is the tranny or clutch..

    motor is a EA82 (non turbo) looks like this but the alt is missing

    EDIT- ohh.. i think the water pump is missing to...
