tim davis Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hi all, I have a 82 brat which i am in the process of rebuilding. Engine and tranny are toast. I have a 93 sub wagon with the new 1,8 fuel injected and std tranny. Im looking too put the 93 into the 82. any thoughts on what Im gonna get into. I would appreciate all thoughts. Fuel inj is much better than carb. LOL Tx Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 It can and has been done - lots of custom fab work involved. You will have to use the EJ tranny, or have an adaptor made for it..... driveline will have to be made the right size for that..... custom engine and tranny mounts. Custom axles are one of the biggest things you'll have to do if you use the EJ trans. Big wiring mess too... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 if its not a Loyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 That's true - I guess he could be talking about a loyale.... didn't think of that. If that's the case, then your swap will be easier. You need to tell us what model the 93 is..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim davis Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hi all My 93 is a LOYALE Tx Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Ah! Well a Loyal is a horse of a completely different color. Do a search on here about EA82 swap into EA81 cars - lots of people have done it. And yes - it will bolt to the tranny - EA81 and EA82 are the same bell houseing. Still - for off-roading (if that's your intention), the EA81 is simpler and IMHO, the better choice. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
