I want to drop a subaru ej25 sohc in an 82 toyota 4x4 straight axle. just an idea at this point, but i currently drive the subaru with said motor, and i think it would be perfect for a 4x4. anyone feel me on this one???
anyone know about subaru motors? lol...

 

funny you say this I was test driving my moms 2004 legacy and thought how it would work in my 86 that motor has a good amount of power and that car weighs more then my 86.

 

i dont know if the boxer motor will fit (its sideways no inline like the 22re) but with enough money and tools anything can work-

 

Dear crazy,

sounds good to me.. you can do anything with enough time, money and willpower.. if it wont fit.. MAKE IT!!!!

well im looking for an excuse to learn how to weld (and to make my dad buy a welder), and I can draw everything up in an autocad to see if it will fit and to design some mounts and other i might need. also i found several low mileage jdm ej25 dohc for like $400. (less torque down low tho) way cheaper than a 22re, so maybe that extra money left over can pay for the sawp. prolly not tho. well see.

maybe i should compare some 22re dyno charts to some ej25 dyno charts too. *goes to search*

 

Lower center of gravity? THat would be the only reason i would think about doing that.

 

You won't have to worry about the motor being too tall, just being wide.

 

what is the overall goal here? turn 44s on unimogs?

as far as i am concerned the 22r-e is damn near 4x4 perfection as it is. the only swap i would do is from a 22r to a 22re. and it's not really much of a 'swap' :p

 

your crazy
