So...I have an '83 parts 245 camped out in my parents barn, that came to rest due to a fuel delivery issue...so I could have the B23 block rebuilt and mate it to the B21 head, and not have to worry about A) sourcing and paying for a new block, B) not deal with the skinnier rods of the early B230s, and get more hp/torque? I mean, it's still either an expensive, or long term project, but at least there's a silver lining. It may be six to one, half dozen to the other so far as having the shop do it, or spending the first $1k just to get it home, based on the transport fees I'm seeing. ($905 was the cheapest)

Incidentally, this car was to replace my '82 245 that was totaled in a hit and run.
