New to Colorado (from WA), living in Loveland now. I have an 86 GL Hatch, registered in WA, but will need to be registered here soon. It has most of the emissions stuff removed and a Weber carb. I’m not sure my options, but I’d rather not lose this car. I think my best bet might be to just swap out the EA81 engine for a fuel injected EA82.

Do you know of anyone in Northern CO who would be interested in taking on this kind of a job?

Any tips/leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again, all! Love this community.

Go the EJ conversion. Done to death and the engine fits easily with an adaptor plate. 

The only things EA82 that should make it into your hatch is the five speed box and a set of rear discs if you can find some that are suitable for your application (2wd or 4wd - different hubs are used between the two). 

Cheers

EJ, meant that, been a while since I looked. Thx Bennie
