Drilled and tapped the top holes into the adaptor plate.

(That's the metric tap in one of the holes).
Here's the adaptor plate and clutch all bolted up on the motor, nice and tight.

Clutch all alligned and ready to go.
I ran out of time tonight otherwise I'd have dropped the motor into the buggy's engine bay. It's ready to go in anyways!

I didn't take a trace, and to be honest my plate hardly followed the pre-marked texta lines at all. It's easy to make one with no template at all, all you need is the EJ engine, EA gearbox with flywheel and use them as a template. Best to do it that way for maximum accuracy.

Wiring harness is 85% complete.
I know u said u wanted buttons and switches on the dash for the ignition but there may be a problem beacause they would all have to be water proof. Wacky doesn't really offer much moisture protection.

EJ conversion wiring harness cut downs available. Please PM or email (davem2000@hotmail.com) for details.
Cool thanks Dave.
Yeah I will most likely buy some nice waterproof toggle switches from d1cky Smith or something. (Altho Devil Dave apparently already bought all these ages ago, I'll have to find out).

Quick update;
WackyBug now has the beginnings of a rollcage. I took her over to Vidler's place today for some quick welding action. Basically two rather long lengths of box section run from front to back now with another piece between to brace them. These are welded to the inside of the body.
I can jump up and down on the rear and she doesn't flex at all anymore.
I also removed all of the original MY wiring and fitted the EJ22 exhaust headers today.
Now she just needs a fuel pump, a fuel return line, the EJ wiring harness installed and the guages / switches.
I'll have do something about a rear section of exhaust at some point too I spose.
I was just looking up some figures on the old engine vs the new engine. This is scary.
Some of the WA boys will remember how fast WackyBug was with just the original EA81...
EA81 - 73hp
EJ22 - 135hp
Do the maths!!

Yeah a little on the wagon, I've cut the flatbar I need for repairing the captive nuts. Havn't found a place with 50mm box section for the Lib control arm adaptors yet tho.

box section probably 50 x 40. 4mm wall thickness.
would only need about 1m length wise.

Andrew there is a metal shop across the road of the bunnings on Balcatta Rd up our way.
They would do the metal you need. and they seam more than happy to cut it off into the size bits you want. I bought a bit of metal there for $1.20.
