el_freddo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hey Lezor, A like-for-like engine replacement is the easiest to do. The EA82 should drop in no worries, there might be some minor wiring differences but it should bolt in all the same. Any EJ engine will require an adaptor plate and flywheel modifications to use the factory gearbox. You will have to cut down the EFI engine management loom to fit it to your L series - unless you can get your hands on a carburettor fed EJ engine, in which case you’re looking at minor wiring changes between the factory L series. You would still need an adaptor plate and flywheel bolt hole modifications. I hope this helps out! Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
