    The engines should swap OK... don't swap the manifolds, though. You'll need to swap the crank sensor and bracket, as well as the temp sensor. Just run with the 240's dizzy.

    Transmissions: Huge PITA that I would not recommend. Especially if the 740 has Regina. Finding a Regina flywheel is not easy.

      Is the only difference the compression ratio? Will the 240 engine actually be better or??
