Bratworst82 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hey Guys, while trying to part out my Brat and scanning the wanted section I've seen references to EA81 and EA82. What do these refer to and what other abbreviatons or acronyms can you explain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky26 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They refer to both the engine and body style. 82s the Brats have the body style from 1982-1987 another term being GEN2.(yours appears to fall in this category) EA81, 1st GEN 78'-80 or 81' not sure on last year. Engines, 82s typically won't be found in the 1st GEN body. 81s, can find those up to last year brought to USA as well as the 82 engine.

BratRod Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Your brat has a solid lifter block EA81, unless someone changed the engine. You can be positive that your engine is ea81 by checking the stamp on the engine block to the left of the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
