May 20, 20169 yr Author mine's a '79..he gave me tbe original ea71..but not sure its health..no transmission..so hoping the ea81 and 4 speed out of my 84 might work! thanks guys!

June 10, 20169 yr Are those 14" wheels? If so, did you have to lift it? I really like that stance. Most posts I see about 14" look more like monster trucks ha. transmission mount and motor mount need to be adjusted and axles are shorter but the short aswer is H*!! yeh. the did it stock in 1981 Enjoy!!!
