how would you sort out the flywheel / clutch issue? twin port inlet heads are available for the ea81 from italy http://www.flygas.info/subaru-ea81-testa.html Flywheel/clutch should be able to stay in the normal spot attached to the back of the crank. Torque tube shaft would have a spline on one end...

I've had exactly the same thoughts. I've 3 Subaru Sherpa's, the good immaculate all original low km one, the reasonably ok one, and the pretty rough old high km one. I always thought the old rough one would be a good test base for either a VZR1800 Suzuki Boulevard motor (or the smaller 1500) or an o...

I don't see a "must be Suzuki" clause, so allow me to be the first outsider. (Haven't got any photo's of my MightyBoy. Still at a mates getting finished off)

Here's one of my Subaru Sherpa's with it's mighty 2 cylinder. This thing uses even less fuel than our 250cc motorbikes.

Do you need to have continuous registration in QLD to avoid having to go get a roadworthy? We can leave our rego expired for up to 12 months so I tend to alternate a few rego's every now and again.

Plus if we had that kind of coin to spend on wheels we wouldn't be buzzing around in tin cans that will run all week for $15 worth of fuel.

We're going to try some Hyundai Excel seats. Reasonably comfortable, plentiful, cheap as chips and the 3 door ones flip forward to give good access to that huge space behind the seats.

Free? That's my favourite word. Better PM me a phone number and soon as I get the HJ tonner off the back of the truck I can come and grab it (I'm assuming it's in Canberra?)

This is way out on a limb here but what about a Triumph triple EFI setup? Bikes usually run Individual throttle bodies so you could space them however you needed to with a custom plenum bolted on. Power commander ECU should give you plenty of scope for tuning and adapting the bike pickup sensors sho...

Did the deal go through? Car was advertised today with nearly same ad but different location and phone number.

Not sure if this helps you but the genuine part no for the head gasket is 412305810. I've got 3 Sherpa's (all 2 seat 2 doors) and one of them came with the genuine Fuji Heavy Industries Workshop Manual and full Parts Manual. I've actually gotten a lot of stuff from the local Subaru dealer. Sometimes...

If you haven't thrown the unit in the bin by now, try using the last 3 digits of the VIN number as the security code. A lot of Toyota dealers used to use that cause as far as I know it was them that activated the security code, not the factory. It also meant their technicians could unlock a radio in...
