Good morning everyone,
This is my first post, I've been lurking for quite some time and the knowledge here is incredible! Hope someone can help here.

I recently bought a well-used-up 242 GT, 1980. I found oil in the antifreeze and vice-versa and a host of other little problems so I pulled engine and trans for a mini-rebuild. This past weekend the 230K mile engine started perfectly right back up but I found the OD is slipping at anything over 1/2 throttle in 1st or 2nd. I did a rebuild on the OD with IPD's mini-rebuild kit so I am sure I assembled it wrong. I confirmed that is was the OD rather than the clutch with a stethescope. The OD made some ugly noises that a slipping clutch would not make. That's all water under the bridge for me, I'm hoping to be w/o OD soon enough.

How difficult is either an M45 swap or M47 swap into this car? I figured the M45 was just the tranny, new trans. mount and new front driveline. Am I correct on that? Is the M47 much more difficult?

Many thanks! Randy
