Subi Engines?
Hey guys,
I have been lookin at sum Ej22's for my bug and i have become a little confused. Whenever i try and find out a price for one people ask RWD or AWD or
sumfin like that. Now i thought that was all 2 do with the gearbox, am i mistaken? is there sumthin i should know? Subi's for dummies is what i need
haha.
Thanx guys |

You won't be using the gearbox so it makes no difference if the donor cars engine comes from an AWD or not. Give Custom Offroad a call, not sure of
the number but do a search on the forum for them. Or Sunspares Subaru in Brisbane for prices on 1/2 cuts or engines.

As a guide an EJ 22 package with a warranty should cost no more than $1600 tops.
I sell them for $1850 with modified loom ready to go into a VW and they have a 10 000 / 3mth warranty. Not trying to sell you one just giving you an
option.
