Liberty
I was at the wreckers this afternoon and spotted a written off liberty.
I popped the hood to find the complete engine, not even the battery had been taken.
I need to check out what size it is and what and where everything i would need for a conversion is in the car.
Speedy responses would be appreciated because i think bits will be missing very sooon.

I tried but preety much all the writting was in chinese or sumthin.

The only other thing is is there anything important in the corner where the battery is, it was the only spot that had real damage.

just check the the timing belt area hasnt been damaged
ej22 are non-interference motors but if the cam gears been hit the belt may have jumped a tooth or 2
but nothing terribly important
just the fuse box which isnt needed

I could be wrong, but there should be a year stamped inside the oil filler cap. Nothing to say it hasn't been changed with another engine, but it
might be correct.
Sharpbuilt V2, EJ25, Subaru 5 Speed, Falcon rear discs, Heater & A/C, Rack Steering

Also the guy wants 650 for it, how should i check see if it runs.

if theres no damage to the timing belt covers and nothing touching the fan belts putting the donkey dick back on the throttle body and airflow meter
it should run if nothings damaged in the fuse box

The way I would see it.
The motor would have to have been running for the car to be driving to be smashed!
If it has done under 200,000km, then maybe it will be good for another 100K, depends on it's service history
If it has only done low 100K then it should be a good one.
You would be very wise to fit new cam belt kit and new water pump no matter what when you put it in your car. They are good insurance.
You need the engine complete with flywheel air flow meter, wiring loom with relays igniter computer, engine mounts, exhaust just past catalytic
converter including O2 sensor and wiring, carbon canister.
No harm in grabbing all hoses at the other end, not at the engine end, if you get to take it out yourself. Grab the fuel line clamps on the high
pressure fuel lines etc.
I got all the above removed from vehicle and delivered from a 112K km vehicle for $1100 a few years ago, so $650 is real good.

650 for the whole car.
Couldnt check kms cause didint have key but fuse box is ay okay. Timing belt covers i dont know about, i could turn the thing at end of arrow.
What do i do bout the key. If i could get the ignition switch out of the barrel and use a screwdriver is there anything stopping me starting it.
Ive got one exam in the morning then i should be able spend an hour trying to get it to kick. I plan on taking oil, coolant, water and bit of petrol.
Is there anything else i need to take.
The whole car i spreety smashed, here is a pic.

thats only the A/C compressor clutch so it will spin on its own
you wont need the key to check KMs they didnt go digital odometers till late 90s
how the passenger side for damage? cos to fold in the middle like that has takes a fair impact, it may spent some time on its side
$650 is ok from a wreckers for teh whole car if it runs ok
it takes a good day to pull the looms out of them so its worth getting the whole car if poss rather than them cutting the shit out of the loom

you can try but its not really worth the hassle cos you get bugger all for them and lots of people wasting your time
pretty much all mine went to the crushers, the headlights and back bumper sold gearbox is still there
if its AWD then the gearbox will sell easy but FWD cant even give them away

that's a classic Neil.
I bought a 73 superbug for $50 to get the IRS gearbox, arms, cv's, etc to do my IRS conversion on my Baja. It came with free rats living under the
back seat, and an awesome quality pair of blue plyers which I still use regularly! Not as much fun as $78 and some drugs

If this has been on it roof , you would be best to remove the spark plugs and crank it over with out them. Water / oil / fuel is not able to be
compressed and if there is any chance of these in the cyl when you start it there is a chance it will throw a conrod.
I think this is a FWD auto , as there is no fuse on the driver side strut for FWD mode over ride.
