J35 swap

Post by 70 baja »

hey guys i have a 1970 baja bug which currently has a ej20
in it. Im going with a j35 in the next couple of weeks but have some questions.
what fuel pump are you using? i currently have a walbro 255.
is that one good?
where did you get your headers? i saw some shorties online and i may get those since there arent many options.
any tips?

I am using a walbro pump as well. No issues. I got my headers from Hot Head Headers. https://www.facebook.com/hotheadheaders

You'll love the j35!! I completed my swap a few years ago.
P2R is a good place for Honda parts too. Lots of performance stuff.
