rock crawling today is more of "rockracing" hence 450 hp in something with driver and fuel weighing sub 1000 lbs.

How much cutting is reuired to fit 29" in the back?I can't really do alot back there.

My EA82 blew a hG and I became very tired of having to literaly take the engine apart like every day just to keep it running.. That and the EA82 warped both the block and the heads...EJ22 TIME!!

Pull And Save

they never said this was a trail rig,more of a mud runner.on the other hand if it was my rig it would have 300 hp and instead of turbos it would have a supercharger...all the power I could ever need...especially if the DR holds up to kinda power...

wait didnt you say the motor was siezed?

that is tall,how are you gonna clear the hood?

Why cant do anything when it finds a hill?ITS GOT 300 HP-read 215HP more than your car came stock.

the general concensus here is 27" tires on EA82 is right about right,after that you lose hill climbing ability.I am swapping in a EJ22 into my DR 5 speed wagon.What is an aproximate estimate of how big I can go before I lose climbing ability?Will 30"-31 be a good size tire?6" lift oh hell ya!

will a EJ Flywheel work?maybe I could borrow a flexplate from junkyard...

Needs more LIFT!!!

a boxer four? spider manifold?

How do you keep and align the flywheels together?Is there something you can put in the center to keep everything aligned?

noah can you trace both sides!? NOAH IS GOD!NOAH IS GOD!NOAH IS...

I know this isnt EA82T related.Howver you asked to one person that had blown a headgasket without overheating. My 1984 brat had been overheated once and for a very short time.two weeks later it blew a HG idling and with the engine only just in operating temp... My 1987 EA82 blew a HG.... oops both of those had been overheated or close to it.. Can we argee that the cooling system is weak.

how do you do that on a non interferance motor?

I am trying to make a template for my EA-EJ swap.So far I have the engine side of the adapter(ej22) holes drilled in plywood,but what do I align the D/R 5 speed to to get perfect alignment?Money is tight right now so I can't just buy an adapter.thanks in advance.

but,but the chains may be giving Cr@p axles but a lifetime warrenty-who cares...

I am having a problem with my muffler bearings.They started going out after I replaced the regular blinker fluid with synthetic halogen blinker fluid.How do I replace them? BTW my cross-drilled brake lines work fantastic!

I needs the dash and the rear seats!I NEED the people room(if I could ever get any to come along with me mudding...something about drifting up and down a icy moutain pass with no guardrails springs to mind,in a brat in 4 lo non the less.Or almost rolling said brat tring to turn around offroad..)

I thought fords were 4X108,if you mean focus's,mustangs,etc,etc.

would aluminim diamond plate sheeting in stead of the foam in door panels be better?

You have PM!

I want to lighten some of it to keep it from becoming a porker with all of the other parts I will be adding-EJ22,lift,swampers,lotsa lights,winch,etc..

how does the roof keep rocks out?this is a trail rig.rocks arn't going to be hitting it at high velocities,unless a boulder decides to land on the roof.Or do you mean the rocks that get flung up when mudding?If I had a girlfriend I doubt they would even ride in it offroading..
