Has anyone done a B230FT in a '86 or newer 240? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Wed Mar 26 14:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a '85 740 Turbo that I would like to put the engine into a 240. I think the turbo engine doesn't have any electrical dependencies, it's all mechanical. So, it should be a fairly straight forward install.

Areas of concern:

-distributor-> don't know if the 740 equipment (A/C, Alternator) would get in the way of the 240 distributor.
-Airbox placement-> I was thinking of removing the airbox altogether for a K&N cone filter in front of the AMM.
-Computer/Wiring->don't know if the computer from the 740 would work on the 240 wiring harness.

Has anyone done this exchange? If so, what kind of problems did you have, and how did you get around them.

Thanks-

Paul
