Get the engine!!!Higher compression pistons.They were indeed a blast to drive.

 

Heads are there own animal,similar to the rest of the line from the outside.

Camshaft is different too.

 

Get the engine,please.

If the ignition switch has a key and works you might want to get that too.Same for external voltage regulator for those wanting to stay stock.

 

What color interior?

i put an FE motor in my 75, and it seemed alot zippier than original, also used the 5 sp tranny out of the fe.could churp the tires in 2nd:lol: good luck,

Jon

I had one in my '78 Brat and lemme tell you, holy crap! I could roast the rear tires in 2nd gear and it would kick it sideways if I dropped it from 3rd to 2nd. I also had a Holley 5200 on it and an electronic disty as well. Coupled with some aftermarket exhaust it was a fast little car!

Just a quick question from a newbie: Is Fe just an engine designation like Ea or Ej? Or was it a package on the car itself? Thanks, Kurt

It's the car designation, it's an FE instead of a GL/DL etc...

"Fuel Efficient" - FE

i just pulled a nice FE engine out of a '79 coupe and would let it go for a song if someone is interested. I pulled it because i am doing an electric conversion but the the engine ran great; i drove it back to maine from vermont. More than a chirp in second, more like a genuine peel-out, but i suppose that has to do with how much you are willing to abuse your clutch. it also has the weber carb which i believe is a 32-36. this engine is complete except for the flywheel because i need that to mate up with the electric motor. also have complete original exhaust, fuel tank, radiator- anything associated with internal combustion. i think the motor has 124k on it.

i`ll take it if you are interested in letting it go cheap.pm sent

actually, my pm box is full, could you please email me at ruppenduro@yahoo.com

 

let me know what you want for it, thinking about putting it in the 78 brat.

 

thanks
