jeepbrat Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hello all! it has been a long time! I still do not own another soob but I still miss swamparoo , the new owner has trashed it. I am researching an engine swap into my sj410 - a very rare ( for usa) jeep built by suzuki. Parts are only available from oregon ( i am in fla). I just put a piston in the 1 liter 45hp motor and 1 week later it eats a rod bearing. I was thinking of putting a bigger zuk motor in but would need an adapter to the tranny- what happened to that dude with the chevy motor in his hatchback? How do you center the mainshaft hith pilot hole to cut out the steel plate? ( without fancy computer CAD) Skip, have you any thoughts? anyone? Maybe I should put an ea71 in it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 If an ej22 can be put into a Brat, it should work for your application. Ask around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepbrat Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have a blazer with 4.3 sitting next to it but it is alot of work and is very heavy - could easily blow up stock axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATBRAT Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I think you are talking about SubaruBrat. If I remember correctly, He HAD a chevy V-6 in it then switched to a Subaru H-6. (It was a BRAT, not a hatch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Didn't lumpycam have a V6 in one of his soobs for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 No, he's talking about the "unhatched" that Lumpycam put a chevy V6 into. It blew up a couple of trannys?, so he went back to an ea81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Phatbrat your right about Subarubrat.. The pics of the h-6 look like it fit in there decently. The valve covered touched the "frame rails" on the body on the passenger side back cylinder. I'd get a carbbed or Turbo'd EA-82 and put that in there... Easier to do and there's tons of parts for em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 In Oregon, are U talkin' about "Trail Tuff Suzuki Stuff" or "Hawk Enginearing"? I can throw a rock and hit Trail Tuff from my house, and Hawk isn't to far from me either. I have wheeled with the owners of each place.

Meeky Moose Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Subarubrats got that h6 in there, looks sweet!! although i think its a bit much for the ea-81 trannies.. since he did manage to implode reverse when he got stuck a couple weekends ago... but thats what spare trannies are for isn't it?

PHATBRAT Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 That's right, it was unhatched not subarubrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
