First off, look up Anthony Hydes web site, hes done this.

Second, The engine- I would find a 95 engine from a 940. Probably the strongest engines, has oil squirters on pistons, extra ribbing in the block, and probably hasn't seem many years of abuse. Try and get a whole wrecked car and swap in all the computers, wiring etc. in there.

3rd. To mount the engine in the 240 body, you need to find the distributor and (some shaft? forgot its name) from a 240 (B230F) then swap that in. The distributor on a newer engine will hit the firewall.

It would be a nice project. Nothing you couldn't accomplish, unless your pretty car *not so bright*

heheh.

Good luck
Jordan
