July 8, 201510 yr Does any one know if you can put a ea81 in a ea71 buddy of mine and I can seem to find a swap any were
October 8, 201510 yr Well... No, an EA81 will not bolt right up if you have an early EA71 with a top mount starter/gearbox. If you have a later side mount starter EA71 or are using the EA81 gearbox then yes, bolt away.
October 9, 201510 yr Leeroy is correct about the ea81 not mounting to the top Mount starter transmission. I just did this swap over the weekend and had to use the ea81 transmission because they do not line up. Also depending on what type and year ea71 car you have there is a couple other little things that need to be changed.
