Pooparu Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Working on getting a baja style tailgate built for it. I'll post some photos up after I get that installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Bill and I just dropped this little baby into the BRAT: Its a 3.9 XT6 R&P, RX gear set, 1.59:1 low range gears in an RX case with FT4WD and diff lock. It pretty much rocks Edited July 15, 2013 by Pooparu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 The only thing that kind of sucks about installing the transmission is that we had to kill the smoke stacks for now. I'll have to build them again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The only thing that kind of sucks about installing the transmission is that we had to kill the smoke stacks for now. I'll have to build them again later. Yeah, that part sucked, but after 24 hours of continuous working, it was just when the pipes hit the tailsection. Never even considered the FT4WD tailhousing wouldn't hit the pipes... Great lessons learned from this project though -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yes indeed. That was one long messed up build. I was talking out loud to nobody on my ride home. I was super loopy.

Pooparu Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Installing a frankenmotor (EJ25 block with EJ22 heads) with delta cams & I'm adding some power steering too. This should be fun. Good-bye good old EA81 (over 300,000 miles and going strong). Some of the many parts needed for the swap EJ25D block Rebuilt EJ power steering unit. Fresh EJ22 single port heads with Delta Cams installed ARP head studs Super dirty EA power steering stuff More photos and updates to come very soon.

Pooparu Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 No, I'm going to clean it up and install it into my BRAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Ahh, I thought you pulled it from your Brat. I figured that's why it was dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Interesting roadblock today. I'm using ARP head studs for my build and here's what happened: Too darn short. Anyone ran into this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sooooo.... from what I can tell there is a difference in length on head bolts on the EJ DOHC & the EJ SOHC heads. I have head bolts for the DOHC heads and since the EJ22 uses a SOHC head you need to get longer head bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Bummer about the studs! Nothing like a fun little snag when you are all amped. With that setup and cams what are ya thinking for output? 220ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hoping for at least 190 - 205 range (crank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykeys Toy Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Any bets on the dual ranges life expectancy? I will say he takes it off pavement twice before it pukes. Edited August 12, 2013 by Mykeys Toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
