I found a B21F to put in my '76 245. (Thanks to Kane for the heads up.)
The replacement engine came out of a '82 245.
Both cars have/had M-46 trannys.
It's my understanding that this engine hasn't been run in over 2 years. Before I start doing anything, does anyone have any tips/tricks for handling an engine that has been sitting for this long?
I'd also like to hook up the O2 sensor equipment if I could. This would sure make getting through DEQ a lot easier. (It's sure a pain in the ass to get the '77 244 through.) What additional parts am I gonna need to do this?
What type of preventative maintenance should I do while the engine and tranny are out of the car?
This replacement engine is with out a head, exhaust manifold, and intake manifold, but I plan on taking those parts from the '76. They should bolt right up.
As you can see, I currently have the engine sitting in the back of my other wagon...
This will be the biggest project I've undertaken at this point. Previous best was the heater blower motor in the '80 245. I appreciate any advice you guys have to offer.
