The Beast I Drive Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have someone offering me an EA71 with the side starter. Can I just swap the bell housing from the center starter on to the engine with the side starter? Yes, as long as its an EA71 the bellhousings will swap, I just swapped a side started bellhousing onto a top starter motor a couple weeks ago. Good luck! Back on topic, how's the adapter comin along? -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have someone offering me an EA71 with the side starter.

Yes, but with an EA71 you will still be limited to the 200m clutch setup as the EA81 flywheel will not bolt up. You could probably redrill an EA81 flywheel but for all the work it would just be easier to drop in an EA81 in the first place and get the added 10 HP.
