skapickle Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ok, I have a '79 wagon that has been sitting in a garage for 10 years or so now. It has a running EA71. I've used some parts from the car for my '78 Brat, though it is mostly complete. I have always wanted to get this car on the road again. I'm considering a full motor/tranny swap. Maybe EJ22 or EJ205. Possibly suspension/brakes as well. Has anyone done this? I'm in the Denver area. It's just a thought at this time but it would be sweet. Maybe I'm crazy...

skapickle Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've been an occasional poster to the USMB since '04. I will put some pics up as soon as I dig it out of the garage. It's kind of buried at the moment.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skapickle Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I see you have a '78 Brat as well.. I swapped a EA 81 with Weber carb and a d/r 5spd tranny into my '78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you want to restore it and get it running! I personally am going to hopefully be putting a 2.2T in my 78. There are some other posts i think it was twin turbo put into a older brat. It is possible, I'm guessing or just make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
