putting a ea81 into a Lseries with powersteering ?

Post by brenton » Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:42 pm

hey guys i just picked up a Lseries with a blown motor, ive got a great ea81 i want to swap in to get me back on the road. the l series has power steering will the brackets for the L fit onto the ea81 to mount the power steering pump?
i haven't picked up the L yet so has anybody else done this.

I have heard it can be done but its not easy.

You would be much better off trying to find an old EA82 for a $200-300

Some previous discussion on this:
