mcbrat Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 will a ea81 radiator mount into a 87 wagon? maybe with a little tweaking? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 i believe it would, i run an ea82 radiator in my ea81 hatch, and all i did was redrill holes, you could redrill the bottom rubber mount holes too. im pretty sure it'll fit with a bit of drilling. i like the ea81s, they hold more fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 plus I'll be using ea81 electrical fans, and they'll fit nicely on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 the filler neck will be under a part of the core support. I assume you could trim to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 thanks. I got my new rad, and am just about ready to drop the motor into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 piece 'o cake..... drilled 2 small holes (19" centers) and screwed in some plastic plugs I had. put the ea81 rad in, and had to bend up the support lip, to fit the rad under it, then drilled some new holes in the support and bolted the rad up just perfect there is enough clearance that I didn't need to cut away anything for the rad cap, though it is partially hidden. plenty of room to take it off since it sits low.
