Swap questions.


Recommended Posts

OK tonight I start the swap between my Wagon and my Brat. The Wagon quit about a month and a half ago, the start circuit went out. I know it is easy to fix, but I am looking at it like a sign. The front end was also starting to make noise. I have read that the tranny from a 1987 EA82 will bolt up to a 1984 EA81. I want to use the engine from the Brat because it is very tight, and there is a Weber already installed on it. The EA82 is tired, and I plan to go through it later. I will be installing rear disk brakes on the Brat, along with 14" Nissan wheels. I will be changing everything over from my 1987 Wagon to the Brat. The tranny went out in the Brat 3 days after I got it on the road. It has the 3AT with push button 4WD HI only. I am installing the tranny out of the Wagon because it is the 4WD D/R. I have read that this is an easy job, just takes a little time. My questions are:

 

Does the fly wheel from an EA82 bolt right up the EA81?

 

Is the drive shaft from the Brat going to fit on the new rear end and tranny? (the shaft from the Wagon has a carrier bearing, the Brat shaft does not)

 

 

I appreciate any and all answers. Thanks in advance.

I will be posting pics of the work.
