Which suby engine did you get? I got my adapter from Kennedy Engineering Products. Small Cars bell housing looks good.

its a 1990 legacy 2.2 got it off the guy who had two for sale on the parts for sale forum also what horsepower can i be looking at with a motor like this from a 1915

Kennedy is the place to get your adaptor plate they also provide wiring information for the Subie/ VW swap. I got my clutch and p/plate from them as well.
I had mine on a chassis dynometer a couple of years ago. It ran 121 ftlb 100 hp at the wheels.
What trans are you planning to use?
I can hook you up on wiring info if you need it.

i have a 5 rib tranny and is this motor much different than my 1915 hp wise

I'm only guessing bout the HP,,but I would say close to the 1915. What tires you running,,,my rev limiter does not come in hardly any with 456 and 31's,,your 482 with ej22 might come in with 31's when you stick your foot in it on long hills or drag races.

i run 31's i thought the suby would have a good bit more power than the vw but at least it will be less maintnance

Welcome to the darkside my friend.

Bye Bye Buggy, I'll always miss you and never forget you, your going to a better place now.

Don't take my word on the HP,,My buggy is heavy,,,real heavy. I know I like it a lot with the ej22. I am sure you will like the ej22 too.

Can't answer that for sure. What I can tell you is you'll notice a big differance. Also worth noting SubieSteve had a 2070, a damn good running 2070 before his swap, it's safe to say we all know what he thinks about the power differance.
Rev limiter ?? Hell I'm on a first name basis with it.
My 6 rib is stuffed with Wedle parts, not so cheap insurance. Keeps me behind the wheel instead of wrenching all the time.
I opted for 930 CV's again not so cheap insurance, for the same reason.
SubieSteve is having good luck with type 2/4 CV's and I know PlumberBill has 930 stuff.
You will be the 6th Subie powered car at Wellsville that I know of so far.

cool about the outcome for noticing the difference now all i have too do is cross my fingers and hope i can get all the wiring figured out and oil pan cut correctly if any one can post some pics of their oil pans or how much they cut off and what tubes and stuff i can get rid of i took the ac pump and power steering pump off so far because i deffinetley dont need those but any help on elimintating the extra hoses and pipes id appriciate it

If your not going to use the power steering pump, I can use it. I can help ya out with oil pan, cut it down to 4 inches tall.
