posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Wed Sep 26 16:44 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Okay, i have a huge favor to ask anybody that has done this..i am trying to swap a 1987 760 TurboIntercooled motor (B230FT) into a 1987 740 GLE (B230F)...The wire harness on the main block, by the passanger side corner near the firewall is different. I believe the connectors are different. What has to be done about this? The chip is also different, right? Also, the exhaust, was has to be done about this? A very reliable source told me that the intercooler, fan, and radiotor will just slip into place of the one that i have, this is definatly true right? you can either email me, or post a message here, or do both... thanks SO much for all your help, i REALLY want this to swap cuz i can walk faster then my 740 GLE. Also, the turbo motor only has 53K miles on it, while my 740 GLE has 125K. Thanks a lot...
