LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 the EA81 is slighty longer stroke and will bolt in where a EA71 lives as long as the starter motor is in the same place on both motors....early versions of both motors have the starter mounted centerline top, later ones had it mounted off to one side.
