Tman1058 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hey all. So here's the background, about a year ago we got a parts car for my dad's old '86 gl liftback, which is also an '86 liftback, we robbed the motor and tranny out of it for the other one, and now we have an extra ea82 sitting on our shop floor, that is in dire need of a rebuild... (you can feel the good hole hit). Any way, my brother and I think that the parts mobile should become our wheeler... that being the case we need to rebuild the engine. What I'm thinking is build the ultimate ea82, so I'm thinking run ej high performance pistons, Delta cams, etc. So please everyone leave cost aside, because I'm just looking for opinions, post what parts you would do, and why.

BratRod Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Leave cost aside? EJ. The numbers are just much better with one. Plus a lot of people will complain about the EA82, and how "it's stupid to pour money into these engines..." If you do build the ultimate EA82, and it holds up: you will be making history (and possibly money for selling specs) . Be prepared to be shot down on this idea... it always happens on here.

NorthWet Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 For EJ pistons, you would need pistons from an EJ20, and then have to deal with different piston-pin dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman1058 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 First, get yourself a " Mr. Fusion". Two things 1. This isn't a time traveling DeLorean 2. Even if it was it would still need a internal combustion engine (or a train to push it) to get up to 88 mph... Mr. Fusion only produces power for the flux capacitor to work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
