so it started its life with me as a EA82 mpfi FWD, not running.
well we all know how great it would be in that condition?.... i didnt even try to get it to run.
first in was a L series touring wagon rearend with a diff ratio i could match to a EJ awd box.
then there was a EJ25 dohc that i tryed to get running with EJ22 wiring and ecu, which it could work. i just gave up.
then i bought a 91 liberty heritage sedan, EJ22 and 3.9 awd box. i bought the car for the gearbox but have now chosen to use the 22 instead of the 2.5.
so here is how it stands of today,
some little facts
-engine crossmember needs dropping atleast 25mm
-mix and matching of EJ and the stock shifter linkages work and clear the tailshaft (cut-shut-weld)
-4 holes need to be made for the diff hanger bolts (to body), they are easy to spot were to drill.
-i chopped the lower radiator support to use the EJ radiator, other wise its to tall.
some things still to be done
-L series tail shaft needs to be shortened 80mm and bearing mount made for centre bearing.
-i need to have another crack and EJ wiring, its not firing at the moment. has spark and fuel, i think i've missed a ground somewhere.
-the standard star style mags i have but need nuts ggggrrrrrhhhhhh
-coil overs to be modded to get me a little low, needed in the back!
im thinking of turning down some solid alloy to match the inners of the FOOT of the coil over, then turned down to fit the inner of the EA hubs. weld the solid inserts into the coilover FEET (the lower section that screws onto the coilover and bolts to the hub) and welded in place.
a grub screw may be needed in the front to stop the FOOT un screwing when taking corners. but in my mind it sould work
vvvvv picked them up for $70 from upullit northern yard
well if your still reading thanks for meeting my car.
