you need to either swap timing cases or you just grind off the crank position marker and tap one hole

if you have all the bits including wireing just swap it all over,,,the wireing will be a b**ch as it's a long process,,but you should enjoy the benifits...

HI i went to my local wrecker today asked him the question on what i need to have to change eng and gearbox in a ea from ef.His reply was you need with engine is ecu,wireing loom from ef radiator due to ea/eb have bigger hose fittings and ef thermo fans ect so i agree with nayghtyfalcon if you have all parts it will just take a bit of time and proberly a few coldies chers hope to hear it went well |

Dude, you need a hand?... i wanna help with this. you need to see 66coupe on PES for a smartlock over ride aswell if you dont have smartlock.
also mite be just as easy to take an el ecu and put a dizzy in the motor, really easy, pretty sure only 1 bar has to be removed. just make sure on the new motor you take the top end off and clean it all up clean all the rocker gear, make sure valve seats are good, head is goot etc coz you dont wanna be ripping the head off later as its a b**ch to do with the bbm, trust me. speak on msn later on dude

not that big of juob just time intensive
did a 5sp conversion on a eb 6 months ago now decided to drop a el in . went straight in but had a lil prob wiht a bent zorst valve which stopped her from running good. but getting fix at the moment. should be on the road next week. just use ur eb mounts too u can use the ea radiator just make sure u clamp the hose on nice and tight. prob end up using ur ea wireing loom as the plugs r diff . other then that pretty straight forward. search and u shal find lots of post. and if u have ne trubs along the way just post pics up and every 1 will pitch in with surgestions good luck with it man |

it's a bit of a luck of the draw thing with the radiator hoses, i bought an ea radiator hose & it was the same as an el, wouldn't fit.... at first..... i made it fit but & it's 20,000k's strong.

hi
when i put the el radiator in my ea i cheated and used a 2" long piece of a el hose on the bottom and used a little lube and slid the ea one over the top did the clamp up nice and tight its been about 12 months and its still as good as the day i put it on... |

hey guys, just a few quick Q's,
with wiring it up, is there a seperate part of the loom that runs into the bay, an another into the dash? what problems might occur with the dash being an ea ghia dash? Smartlock, i know this going to be a pain in the a**, i need tobypass it, but not able to afford the bypass module, any alternatives? The 4 speeds from eb onwards all run from the ecu dont they? thanks lynx

the only time you need to bypass smart lock is when useing a smartlock ecu,,which ecu will you be useing

you can use a distributor in place of the coils,,the hole is there..so in a word not really.
you can run a transmision from an el in a ea useing the trans control already there as well.
