Pm'ed you

No one rebuilds there engine before stuffing it in there bay and investing money into it? I can find a hundred threads on different head/block combos' but not one thread on recommended gasket kits for a rebuild. Performance or otherwise.

Finally got a 22T( complete w/sesors and wiring) at the junk for $150. But that is only the beginning for me. Rebuild is mandatory. Already sourced Forged Pistons. Any recommendations for gasket kits? Subaru,felpro.......? Im looking for quality and strength. what brand of rings and bearings do you ...

Are you dedicated to staying automatic? Why not swap in a manual tranny? There was never a 1st gen WRX in the USA. The 92 SS only had a LSD as an option, and I've never seen one with it.

I'm checking on this becuase finding a excellent tranny from 94 or earlier especially out of a ss is almost impossible. Is there any way to check the condition of a tranny before installing? I know there i...

Thanks for the correction. So what I have and what all factory ss cars came with was a 390. From your info. on trannies that will have the 390, Will any of these hold up compared to the stock tranny?

Here's my info. IMy car is a 95 impreza L with 2.2,4eat & awd. I just got a ss engine,transaxle and rear end from a 92 donor w/4eat I understand that 90-91 gearing was 390 and after 411. Correct me if I'm wrong. What I want to know is if that gearing for the 92 is 411 what late model 4eat can I ...
