Need more engine swap advice

Featured Replies

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?

i cants remember who it was but i think an cadnadium ( sorry my spelling suxs ) guy on here that has an old brat fitted with EJ22

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 :banana: he made cut outs in the framerails to make it fit right, was really nice!

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.
