haha thanks for the plug Subarino :P

Unfortunately I don't really have anything suitable at the moment...
1 x Carby EA82. Was working okay but then the timing belt stripped and she seized up. Had very noisy tappets but still drove okay up until then. Really only good for stripping for parts now.
1 x MPFI EA82. Was running perfectly but pervious owner suspected a faulty head gasket.
1 x MPFI EA82. Was running perfectly, quiet, ran cool, reconned heads.

Try some wreckers, I would say an EA82carby motor would not cost much at all these days and should be fairly easy to find. Also check the Quokka, theres people wrecking L series regularly.
Put a wanted advert up on this forum maybe somebody will respond.
