4x4_Welder Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I am eying an EA82 Wagon, d/r 5speed, with two blown engines. I am assuming bad heads, but I have a spare EA81 engine with approx. 0 miles on it. I know the engine would physically fit, but is there anything to know about installation, anything massivly different in the mountings, oil pan clearances, etc? BTW, I am eying doing this swap as a budget-gap holdover. If I had it my way, I'd be asking how to drop an EG33 in front of the d/r 5speed.

P K Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I believe Chef Tim did this. Put out a holler for him - he's been back - ooray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Miles Fox has done this as well. I believe it bolts right in. The pitch stopper will need a small amount of imagination to coordinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Bolts right in. You will need to do some plumbing work from the motor to the radiator IIRC. Remember to use the Flywheel and clutch that matches the tranny, not the motor. Need any thing else I'll try and remember. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
