just wondering will an EJ20 or EJ22 fit in to an 1600 coupe/ wagon etc of 1978 vintage?

thanxs

define:"fit"

 

 

you can make almost anything fit.thats what big hammers and sawzalls are for.

do you mean has anyone done it?well then that would be the question to ask.cheers, brian

I have never tried, so this is just opinion, but you'd probably have better luck with an early EJ22. The DOHC EJ20 and EJ25 are a few inches wider.

Yes. Should fit ok. Some reworking of the steering column linkage and a lot of transmission tunnel beating will be required.

 

But yes - it could be made to fit.

6" lift, EJ22, 5sp D/R... She'll be good..

Or just onroad stuff?

The EA81 is the same width as the EA71 I believe, so it should fit a SOHC EJ. You'll need to crack out the tape measure.

SOHC EJ will fit with like 1/2" of clearance on either side by the frame rails. Tailgatewagon mocked one up into a gen 1 stage 2 car and came up with the final measurment. Yes, lots of tranny tunnel beating is required to get it to fit right and the engine crossmember will need the engine mount holes ovaled out to fit the EJ mounts in there.

ea81 is slighty more wider than an EA71. did get that measured.

i am trying 2 track down an GFT or GL 1600 at the moment.

I can't imagine that it would be much different then an ej22 swap into a gen 1 BRAT. Here is a link I read awhile ago. You could ask this Canadian what sorts of things he had to do to get his ej22 to fit in his gen 1 BRAT.
