seen on an old post that you had a used weber carb for an ea71. Do you still have it? If you do I am in Otis Orchards

HI GD, I am surfung through threads looking for ones that I have found in the past and can't seem to find them. If I remember right you were posting on a lot of them. I havea 78 brat and want to put a 82 or 84 1.8 into it with the 4 speed dual range tranny. Will it bolt in or do I need the rearend out of that car as well and what about the coil or something like that? I read somewhere that I needed it to make the dual range work. Thanks for any help in finding old threads that talk about this or any answers. cant find the thread that lists what each motor is from and years ie: ea71 ea81 ej...

I just found a gen 1 cluster with a tach at the junkyard, there might have been another one there. I will probably be going out there again soon if you want me to look let me know. My gen 1 brat didn't have a tach so I have to figure out how to make this one work.

Are the 4 and 6 inch lifts made the same? I read stuff of people having problems with the cross member when they lift over 4? Do you still sell lift kits? if you do how much are they?

Do you have any idea if that EJ18 would fit in a gen I or is the frame not wide enough as that seems to be the restrictions I read about. What kind of horsepower do you get out of that motor?

That is a super clean brat. I love all the mods your doing. Do you have a thread anywhere of putting that motor in it? Any special place your getting motors or just e-bay or?

Are the 6" lifts the same as the 4" just taller. I have heard people talk about the crossmember being in the way for a 6" lift. Also I was wanting to switch the tranny for a 5 speed with hi/low? Do some of the 82-84 wagons have that set-up? Do you think the rear-end from one of them is better than what I have in there? (just the stock gen I)

Actually i was thinking of going up there, I went a couple years ago and had a blast. my brat doesn't have a lift yet though so I doubt they would fit.

I have a 78, brat and was wondering what lift kits you have available for this? also from responses on threads I posted it sounds like I should swap the rear end out to a gen II set up. my plan is to do a motor swap and a hi/low 5 speed. Is there one specific car that I could get as a donor car for all of this? I was thinking about an 83-86 GL model subaru? I would like to do a bigger motor swap but sounds like I have a horrible car for that, but I can get about 110 ponies from a worked EA81?
