little old pushrod 1800 halves the cost of conversion and no efi to stuff up already wired for it

The cost of an EJ conversion will be the same as an EA Conversion unless you have stuff already in place. The EA81 / EA82 are a fine engine and will serve you well. In a baja it will crap all over a VW engine of the same size and be very reliable.

I would go EJ 22 any day as I find it easier to work on EFI than Carbies, but that is my prefference, my lawnmower still has a carbie.

At the end of the day either will be fine.

Plus another few grand to fix the cracked heads etc and you get maybe around 60 or 70 hp馃槀
