Ok lads, well im going to start this week to get all the parts I need to get the engine in.

1st up, were can I get a custom radiator made and what are peoples preferences or recommendations? Also I need to source an adaptor plate for the EA82 D/R to bold to the EJ..

I basically want to get the engine in and most of the mechanical side of things done so that then I can tackle the loom and ecu woes (maybe wave some money at the W.A EJ Wiring Guru ) at a time when is going to be convenient for who eva I get to help..

Thanks in advance

Bren, i MAY have sourced afew adapter plates for us, i've found my ej22, and the dude has afew adapter plates, not sure if he'll part with them though!

My custom radiator was done by Swan radiators in Osborne park.

Liberty twin core + Brass tanks from a Holden Gemini.

Bring an EA82 radiator in so they can use it as a template (so it fits in the car afterwards).
Bring an EJ radiator in so they can make the inlet and outlet pipes to match.

There will be a little beating, pushing, pulling, bendling required to fit it unless you give them the car and say "fit it" - but wheres the fun.

let us know mate, im keen to get the leone gutted this w/e and start on getting the 22 in

with the two 12" davies craig fans cranking it holds the EJ20G well. However with sustained reeming on a hot day in boggy sand the heat gets up there. Should be perfect with an EJ22 - i would expect you to never have cooling issues.
Perhaps fit the motor first and see how much room you have - not sure if you will have any extra, perhaps a triple core would fit - Subarino runs one of these with his EJ22 but I think Hatch might have slightly more room behind that MY grill than an L series.

hmmm good idea, id like to get the engine in the leone this w/e.. just need to do the rocker cover seals n **** before i drop her in

i wanna also put an ej22 in my car. seeing thought u and alex are doing it i thought maybe it would eb a good time

wanna hand this w/e 4muff?

if ya want mate, prolly start stripping engine and prep the 22 to go in

ill lend a hand if u tell me what to do

im sure i can find something if ya want:P

i think the gbox plates have fallen through, i'll talk to you about it Bren..
