with a 4" lift, the diff works fine at 3" on a EA82 you can go stock at 4" but 3 works out without any axle problems

Ok took the car out on its first trip put 100 miles on it , hears a pic of it sneakin threw the hood this is with the engine lowered with a 2" block so on a stock car the filter would be sittin 2" higher ,I learned a few things first the stock EA82 radiator with only 1 fan dont cut it for off road use, need to upgrade to a bigger rad and 2 fans, second I had replaced the stock FI pump with a lower presure carb pump and installed it under the hood, this doesnt work as the pump has to suck and it ends up suckin air, so we swapped it to the stock location under the car and the problem went away, thanks everyone for helping and waiting on the carb swap, 3rd this weber I put on came off a EA81 car and on the EJ22 its starving , so I either need to rejet it or replace it with a larger carb more matched to this size engine, now this is were I need some help from you carb experts, what size Carb would work best with this 2.2 liter and what should hte jetting be? all in all I really like the new setup, it has way more lowerend power then the EA82 which was nice for offroad

your mailbox is full

No thats my favorite tool, Ive noticed 0n these ea81 guys when the car is sitting level the diff stubs sit lower then the wheel stubs, now as one wheel comes off the ground the oppisite wheel gets compressed and all the power is going threw that one wheel, as the other is spinning, see picture in this situation all the power is in the opposite wheel, so if thats the case I propose that when sitting level the diff stubs should be higher by 1" then the wheels thats how Im set up , never ever broke a Axle with this EA82 , that way when its compressed its not as great a angle, did I make sence? If you look at the 81 next to 82 the 81 axles are smaller and have less movement

Hey I miss out in all,, ALL the fun

no it was just me and the black jeep

more goin home

rock face couldnt make it pickle

you mean this one

you missed a few

I will be on CB on channel 6

I think Im ready, ,........then I back out of the garage and it dies, Im not getting fuel to the carb, I had replaced the FI fuel pump., Jeff is there a parts store their were I can pick up a fuel pump for a Car with a carb???

hear it run

worked great, thanks Brian

Im up to it, send me a carb and I will make the adapter

got it running good tonight, it would die after it ran awhile, ended up being the fuel pump was only on when the starter was going, I wired in a different fuel pump as the fuel injected one gave it too much pressure, cant wait to drive it,

the dusty is modified, the tang comes square and its been ground arced and the mounting holes, slots have been inlarged thats it,

zzz zzz zzz

Either model the pitch stopper will need some modification, on the ea82 you would need 2 L brackets, for the ea81 it may work in one hole or it may need a small flat bracket , I will research this and on the next set of adapters have something that works for both cars as this is the first gen

who is WE ??? or is it a group of people??

come on over I still need to hook up the Rad and skid plate

mid April maybe , SJR

I resealed it with JB weld, should be good tonight,

$165

I will be offering the adapter so you can modify your own manifold and I will be offering the machine work if you sent me yours, also I will be offering the modified Escort disty. eventually I will offer the whole kit in one : the engine adapter, redrilled flywheel, modified disty with coil and wiring,weber adapter and block off plates the the EJ manifold, so all a guy will need is a old soobie with a dead moter a bare EJ engine and the ",kit" and it will be a all bolt up with no computer hassle ,
