Subject:Re: What Year Subaru is best for Conversion

There is a wealth of information for the EJ22 engine from the 90-94
Subaru Legacy and many satisfied convertees so I think this range of
years would be the best.  Among this range I think 92-94 are probably
better since they improved on the ground wire design.
