Physical engine dimensions.

Hey all.

I'm looking into all the different possibilities for engine swaps into my 86 BRAT and 87 XT. I'd really like to put EE20 boxer turbo diesels into them, but can't find physical dimensions for these engines anywhere.

People drop the EJ18 and EJ20s into these cars. I did find out that the EE20 is shorter front to back than the EJ20. I'm more worried about width.

Can anyone get me the full physical dimensions on the EJ18, EJ20 and most importantly the EE20 diesel?

Thanks in advance.

You might contact these guys. Probably the shop that did the most with the EE20s in the US. They were importing and selling them for a few years, but I don't think they do anymore due to the reliability problems. But, they shipped them, and installed them in a couple VW chassis. I bet they have an idea on size.

External dimensions on EJs will all be pretty similar. The displacement doesn't matter, but the head style does. The EJ18 was only a phase 1 SOHC (the smallest, fits nicely in both the EA81 and EA82 engine bay), where an EJ20 could be had in all styles (phase 1 and phase 2, SOHC, DOHC and even with AVCS).
