its all so much clearer now! lol

good place to start, thanks mate, im off to the wreckers!

tahnks fellas, what would one of these carbs cost? Bearing in mind that i am a chippie and i am severly mechanically challenged, would i be able to install one of these myself?
thanks again for all the advice.

hey guys, now that i have a working motor, what are a few simple and cheap things i can do to make the ea81 go a bit harder, and how much fuel efficiency do i have to sacrifice?

Just a quick one guys, to thank all of you who rang me to offer replacement ea81's in response to my posting last week from the sunshine coast. The engine i put in is spot on, nothing like a quick little drive to melbourne to give it a test run. I got 623klms to one tank! go brumby! this is my first...

hey,
thanks for the info on the gearbox, i am a chippie and really would have no idea where to start if i was to install it myself. Can you recommend anyone in vic or melbourne that is able to do these sought of conversions?
thanks.

thanks heaps for those brumby ads, will look into them, it seems pretty hard to find a good one for the money i want to pay, am looking at aroun $3500, because i then want to put a 5spd gearbox in it which i think will cost about $1500. Hoping to come away having spent around $5000, fingers crossed.

thanks for the help guys! i am in vicco by the way, thanks again.

thanks for the help mate i'll there right away, happy new year.

I posted a message yesterday about putting a 5spd into a brumby but it seems thr one i had got sold to someone else, so if anyone knows of a good place to find brumbys that don't need too much work done on them it would be much appreciated!

Hi guys, i am not an expert on cars but i have recently bought a subaru brumby and was wondering if it was possible to put some kind of 5spd gearbox into it? thanks
