carfreak85 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 OK, I just updated myself on ScottinBellingham's EJ22 disty/carb conversion. I want this engine in one of our Gen 1s (Just got an '80 Brat). Has anyone test fitted an EJ22 in a Gen 1 engine bay? I looked at some pics of Garner's old EA82T powered Brat and that engine barely kissed the chassis before he frenched it. If the EJ22 is narrower, is it same to assume that it would drop in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I saw a red 81 Brat, it had an EJ22 in it, from Idaho, came and picked up a topper from me, I got to drive it he made cut outs in the framerails to make it fit right, was really nice!

Caboobaroo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I know tailgatewagon dropped at EJ22 into a gen 1 stage 1 wagon a couple yeas ago as a test fit. Had to modify the crossmember to accomidate the wider engine mount stance but said it "barely" fit between the frame rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
