Hello, List:
The information I received in talking with the representatives from Fuji
Heavy Industries (Subaru's parent co.) at my former employer indicates that
you're correct, the EA-81 hasn't been used in any automotive application since
1983. Since that time, however, there have been a few applications of the
engine (or a dirrivative using the same block) as a utility engine to power
generators, pumps, and other such items requiring moderate power, but high
reliability. I don't know how long those uses continued, but suspect they are
long gone.
This does show the strength, reliability, and versatility of this basic
engine.
