Alright, I have an '83 GL-10 Wagon.. Carbed/NA 1.8 EA82 w/ Auto and Locking 4WD.

Problem is that it's eaten a main bearing, and the carb is totalled. I'm looking for a new engine but here's where I need some info.

I know that the EA82 switched to FI around '85, but I was wondering if those 85-and-up EA82s (EA82T included.. since thats ultimately what I'd like to buy) will bolt into my '83 Wagon, or will I need custom mounts/crossmember?

i think that you should be able to swap on heads and wiring harnesses from the mpfi set up and you should be fine. the turbo setup i think might be a direct bolt on from there. best bet though would be to go to those who really know the old subies.

thee guys there know what they are talking about, well, most of the time.

Awsome, thanks for the link.. I'll check out that board!

Ya, USMB is where I get all the info for my '78 Scoob ;) There is a thread on USMB somewhere that discusses the FI conversion for EA81/82 motors.

You could always put an EJ20T in there for some good ol' fasion haulin assin... :D

Easier said than done. It's not a direct bolt-in.

I know that...But it would be nice..... :D
