I finished the engine swap on the 88 765 by pulling the B230FT "k" block out and putting an 86 B230F in. Without changing any of the fuel system or electronics the car went from 22 mpg to 25 mpg or about the same as the 86 245 and 2 mpg less than the 93 940. I also have not had any problems with the flooding on start up that it experience regularly.

Regards,
