one eye Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I wish I would have got a pic of the white one in the begining, It head light had smashed through the battery, the hood fender, head light, marker light and grill where all gone. I wish I had a White parts car but I had a grey one instead so I replace all that stuff. Jeff Edited January 6, 2009 by one eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm going to try and straighten out the head light a little more, but this is what the fender looked like once we got it off. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy I got it from said it ran real crappy, so he parked both of them and started driving a mid 80's 4 banger mustang, I got 12 motors so if worst comes to worst........ SPFI EA81!!

Jeff No accounting for tastes... My '85 GL wagon was crushed by someone who decided to drive a '90 Mustang that ran on about 6 out of the 8 cylinders (and the 5 speed had been reduced to a 3 speed.....). Okay.. I sold it to him, but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 IF it were me i would keep em both, BUT thats me I cling to cars like a fat kid on a cupcake. I would be more willing to bash up a car thats already been bashed though, just swap the D/R from the maroon one into the white beater and lift it a little and bam. A days work at best, but you already know that -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a guy that wants the white one already....so if it went that quick I won't worry about it. As for the Maroon one it is going to get lifted, I might put my SJR Maroon Wagon for sale after I get the lift and everything else done on the other one, I just replaced the drivers side doors and hatch on it, it needed it, but now it looks like the car of many colors. 8 cans of flat black will make er look just like new!

one eye Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Scott in Bellingham said: you got 13 days to get it ready for Rieter:eek: Probably not on this run, I'm going to go 4" instead of 2, the big tires just rub to much. Or maybe 6" then I can run 31" tires!! like Bill does on the Beast. I replaced all the wheelbearings on the Wheeler wagon and now the LF tire rubs like never before.

The Beast I Drive Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 them 31's are way nice offroad, lots of clearance I would suggest maybe 9.50 wide instead the 10.50s i have now, might rub less on the inner fender area down by the door. I need to go beat my inner fenders some more, I still get rub at full lock when turning. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I got an EA81 in my Maroon Wheeler wagon too. I used an EA82 intake on it though so there are a few thing different. I should have just used the EA81 intake, but It gave me a little practice an how to do an EA81 SPFI swap. Is your carbed or injected? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your carbed or injected? Jeff I have a EA82 intake with a 32/36 Weber on mine, I had to make spacers for the manifold to clear the block though, but I think my manifold is the exception, Jerry has done umpteen EA82 manifolds on EA81 motors and had no clearance problems like I did (figures). The EA82 manifold has slightly larger diameter intake runners and flows a bit better, but you HAVE to have a Hitachi distributor to make it fit, or modify the little plate the disty bolts to. Im actually running an EA71 Ditsy filled with EA81 internals that I pieced together from 4 distributors I never did reattach my power steering though, some days I wish I had, but I just strong arm it, its funny when my buddy tries to drive it off road cuz when the wheel kicks back from a rock he aint ready and it always kicks his a$$ -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
