carfreak85 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 To the best of my knowledge, yes. Gen 1 brats came with 1800s in 1981 in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy D Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 yes but you will also need an Ea81 tranny. the gen one tranny's didnt match up with the gen 2 (unless it is an Ea81 '81 brat with d/r. -Dalton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Quick question would an ea81 fit in2 the 1400 engine bay? thanxs A ea81 dual carby motor I hope! Oh man that little car of yours would be a hoot with that engine! I think a ea81 dually with a ea81 front wheel drive 5speed would be super. Let us know what you come up with!

GeneralDisorder Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Put an EJ22 in it - they are narrower than the EA82 and I know at least a couple Gen 1 EA82 conversions (with frame rail trim). That little thing would haul with 130 HP AWD. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
