I need pics of EA81'd EA 82 Cars (motor set up)

[one eye]

I started a New project tonight, I realized I went in a bit blind. I am trying to put to put an EA81 in my EA82 Wagon, Everything is going fine so far except......... The intake. I'm trying to use the EA82 intake on the EA81 motor, and it don't want to fit, it's pretty close, but close dosen't work. My new plan is to just use the EA81 intake and carb. I would like to see what other people have done, Since I have a bad Idea of what I'm doing. The car that I am working on is an 86 GL Wagon, Carbed not SPFI, The motor I'm putting in is an EA81 I think an 85. I don't know if that matters to know what year the EA81 is, but I figured I would cover all my bases.

 

Thanks

I think you should just EJ it. Just lop a great big hole in the hood, and EJ the hell out of it. Then, we could design some sort of funnel system leading to the air cleaner, and do sweet, sweet water crossings.

 

We start tomorrow at sun-up. You get the sheet metal, I'll bring the moonshine.

I know there's interference around the disty, and the alt bracket when putting EA-82 intake on an EA-81. It can be worked around though. I've read on here about people having issue where the case halves meet, but I haven't ran into that myself.
