Quick question would an ea81 fit in2 the 1400 engine bay?

 

thanxs :burnout:

To the best of my knowledge, yes. Gen 1 brats came with 1800s in 1981 in the States.

yes but you will also need an Ea81 tranny. the gen one tranny's didnt match up with the gen 2 (unless it is an Ea81 '81 brat with d/r.

:headbang: A ea81 dual carby motor I hope!:slobber: Oh man that little car of yours would be a hoot with that engine! I think a ea81 dually with a ea81 front wheel drive 5speed would be super. Let us know what you come up with!:burnout:

Put an EJ22 in it - they are narrower than the EA82 and I know at least a couple Gen 1 EA82 conversions (with frame rail trim). That little thing would haul with 130 HP AWD.
