I will prefix this with this is my wanker of the week entry.....But if anyone can help. I am running an EA82 in a brumby with a five speed box the engine is to say the least a little tight in the bay. I have just redone the head gaskets and reassembled it back into the car.

I just completed a scary trip from Melbourne to Albury having just fitted a canopy to by Brumby. The car now seems to be very soft in the rear and prone lean and wallow inn bends any one had simila probs.

If I were to drop in the EJ18 I am told that at some time this was backed up by a DR5speed AWD box if so can anyone tell me what this was originally fitted to so I know what to look for. Also any advice on what I may have to do to get ti into a Brumby.

Just out of interest why do u regret the swap from 81 to 82. for me its no space to work and 16.5litrs to the 100k's

Thanks very much mate seems I can do this in a day. I hope your anzac days as good, cheers.

Happy with that bit, lot of work but my only car now goes ok. probs. Second gear is a bit notchy (sych...

I have just got the engine/ into the car after making a few mods to the engine bay but I am having a hell of a time with the mounts begining to think they will never fit and that I will need to make up some kind of mounting p...
