IdahoJak Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 My '85 Hatch has had the engine replaced. I'm trying to verify what year/model the replacement engine is from. The number on the engine is EA81, 240670. A big thanks to anyone who knows. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoJak Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Thanks Subieman, looks like I have an early '83 engine. Don't know if that makes a difference on any parts I order for it, but now at least I know. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 yeah I have to buy parts for my car using 83 gl and I have an 87 stanadard its weird. I got the wrong clutch and exahust gaskets, and flange gaskets were all wrong using my car specs????? wierd that's because most chain parts stores only have EA82 info for 85+ so any time I'm getting parts for a 85+ hatch or Brat, I use 82-84 for the year... depending on my mood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
