Found a wrecked Loyale down the street. Has the older 5-speed with the 4WD/Hi/Lo lever. I think it's the last year for the hi/lo, relatively new. Would this bolt up to my 90 Legacy wagon's motor? my car's pretty rough, so some custom work to get the levers in wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't know if the Loyale manual bell housing would bolt to my motor (currently 4EAT).
Would the rear diff from the loyale fit? If not, could I find another legacy rear diff with the same ratio as the loyale manual?
I've done a few swaps in jeeps and other various buggies, so I'm not afraid of some fab work.
My 4EAT is slowly on it's way out, so a manual swap is something I'd like to do anyway, just kind of having a hard time finding a manual legacy near me (SW Montana) for a reasonable price. Salvage yards know what they have, and charge accordingly.
I've wrenched on my legacy quite a bit, but don't know too much about the loyale's. If I'm going to do a swap, I'd love to have low range, and I'd be willing to do quite a bit of work to get it.
Any info/questions/criticisms/suggestions/jokes/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Nope. The loyale used an EA-series engine while the legacy uses an EJ-series. I'm pretty sure that the trannies are not compatible between the engines.

We have a adapter plate to install a Legacy engine into a Loyale this should work for what you want to do.
