Hi, i have a 1982 brat that is great except for the motor, i need a new one.

I tried aaron's auto wrecking with no luck.

 

This poor car has been sitting in my garage for months now and its time for me to get moving on it.

 

What i need is a motor/carb ea81 don't care about the kind of carb anymore. OR if anyone could be so kind to suggest a sutiable replacement that a novice like me could install that would be great.

 

this is starting to really freak me out, and i could use a hand if there is any help out there.

Best bet is to try the three Pull a Part yards that are close to you....Lynnwood, Tacoma, or Olympia. Motor will run you 150 to 200 depending on how many parts are still attached to it (carb, clutch, etc.). Most places give you a 30 day money back guarantee. Later model wagons or Hatches are good sources and with some judicious looking and evaluation you can likely pick a good motor (mileage, condition of car, is it a wreck or not); I've been lucky twice pulling good used motors this way. The other possibility is to buy a good running wagon or hatch for cheap off craigslist and pull the motor out of that and scrap the rest of the car.
