Injection's only a few more wires ;-) at the end of the day you'd be better with a more modern engine. If you're worried about the wiring pay Rich (RJES) or similar to do it.
EAs are old, try getting spares.

I'm not sure but I think the adapter plates are different to EJs. Someone else confirm or deny this please.
Unless you already have one, i wouldn't bother.

Thanks for the advise.
I'll search both ways :

or an adaptor for the ea82 engine because it is a good engine with low mileage.
or a newer EJ engine with the help from a more experienced person.

Well if it's cheap as chips....

Rogblk's got one in his Baysplit and is well happy with it. Not the fastest but a huge improvement over a aircooled Nice workhorse TBF
