dudesmccool Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I know everyone on this forum is a sucker for A: pics and B: swaps and actually C: everything awesome. I do have A and B thought. Last year I painted my engine bay+, lost my job-, moved+/-, became even more broke-. Now resealed most of the engine+, installed re-drilled flywheel+/-(I over paid) new clutch disk+ and xt6 pressure plate+. Last weekend my awesome brothers and I bolted the 96 EJ up to my 92 Loyale+++. Now I'm tackling the wiring and cooling. Sorry the pics are so blurry guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 you won't be disappointed, this was the single best improvement I made to my wagon(kinda wish I hadn't sold it) it made it a completely different car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it was a manual, I hope you put in the D.R. tranny also to complete this sweet ride. Edited January 30, 2015 by Fish-N-Fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudesmccool Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I bought my adapter plate from SJRlift in Bellingham, WA. No d/r, that will be a present to myself in the future. Right now I wouldn't use a d/r enough to justify the price and labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I wouldn't use a d/r enough to justify the price and labor. I got mine at Pull N save for $55 bucks I couldn't stand my S/R 5 speed so had to trash it for the D/R Hope to finish it up tomorrow. Just need a few parts I forgot to get once I get that done, next is my homemade 3" lift kit and 15" wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudesmccool Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Today I'm going to start tackling the coolant hoses. I already purchased a torch with silver solder(plumbing). Now I need to find some pics for reference and buy some copper elbows to braze. Edited February 2, 2015 by dudesmccool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudesmccool Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well the upper radiator hose is connected. I cut 1" off of the ea hose and put it on the upper outlet. I cut off 1" off both sides of the ej hose and clamped it down on the ea hose. Feels secure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudesmccool Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Modified my lower ea radiator inlet last night. I brazed a 1" copper elbow on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudesmccool Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Finished brazing the copper elbows on the radiator last night. Looks sealed and a direct angle to the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-N-Fool Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Modified my lower ea radiator inlet last night. I brazed a 1" copper elbow on I hope you mean soldered. Brazing is with a bronze welding wire and soldering is with a silver/lead/tin solder. That is used for radiators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
