hippyloc Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I had read on here that a 96 ej22 could be transplanted into my 81 gl wagon. I am in the prosses of tracking down a motor to slam in there, but I have never done this before. I want to make sure that I get the proper motor so that I don't have excess modifying to do. :-\ I am going to run my original 4sp manual trans, and later get a lift kit from allied armament. I am hoping to find a motor with the wiring harness and ecu. If anyone has experience with this or knowledge about the process, then please give advice.

hippyloc Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I found a 97' OBS w/ a N/A EJ22. Picked up an adapter plate from SJR and am in the process of clearing out the shop. I am totally stoked about getting this EJ in my 81'. I haven't been able to find anything about it, but I want to try to use as much of the OBS wiring, interior on my 81'. I know that most all of the EJ swaps I have read about are OBDI's, but I am going to try to get as much of this OBDII in. Still have to get my totalled 82' GL out of the way before I can really get into it. Speaking of. . . I have an ad for parts, if anyone is interested. I am no tech, and don't have any welding experience, but I am going to dive in head first! If there are any suggestions or comments, please let me know. Hopefully I will document enough of this project for future interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyloc Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Here are some before pics! http://s883.photobucket.com/albums/ac36/hippyloc/Before%20EJ22%20Swap/ As you can see the rear valance on my 81' is shot! So luckily enough I have body parts still useable from my 82'. More pics to come. Especially as I begin making progress!!!
