I want to stuff an ea81 pushrod motor into my 89 gl wagon that has an ea82, what would be the route to go? I also wanna run the spfi from the ea82 on the ea81. How much modding will i have to do to get the older motor to work in the newer car? thanx in advance

89 gl d/r ea82 2 inch lift 292987 miles on it. 14 inch pugs will be on for winter

no chance of getting a welder doing this all in car on the side of the road, towed it to the street across from my apartments, cant wrench on the property, i have to push it from my spot onto the street and back just to work on it too broke to have someone come out i have all the tools and taps and inserts just no way to pull the motor and put it on the counter and fix it, wife would not like that.... I am thinking clear the holes drill straight and insert studs with quick steel since i dont run timing covers anyway they rotted away 291k on it need it to go a lil further before new motor or ej swap

Put bumpers and roof rack on Skrat, then my motor had some issues so its still down and not running.

So the idler bolt pulled the threads out of the block when it came loose, i drilled it out and put a helicoil in but i diddnt notice it was crooked until it was too late and the pressure with the belt on pulled the threads out of the block for the tensioner, both of them so i drilled those out and helicoiled them but putting them back in one broke off in the block... Help I dont know what to do now, can i extract them and put in studs somehow? or is there a way to oversize them even more but still be able to bolt the tensioner back up? and what can i do about the crooked drill/helicoil for the idler? at a loss here.
