aiiadict Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 hi, I'd like to know if an EA82 engine (OHC) will bolt to a transmission that an EA81 was previously bolted up to? Are the bellhousings on EA81 and EA82 the same? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yess an EA82 will bolt up to an EA81. People who own EA81 4wd cars, tend to bolt up a EA82 5-speed dual range tranny for the better gearing for freeway driving and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gettting a EA82 4WD 5 speed to swap into my auto '84 GL 4WD wagon. I'm also curious if I can swap in the front axles too, how about the clutch pedal also, will it swap in? I hate to thread hijack, but it's along the same line nad I really don't want to start another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It's best if you just buy Tom's kit. It has all you need to just bolt it right up and go. Is this a direct bolt up?
