Thanks for the responses. It seems like the '88 is going to lose it's motor. As to the piston slap issue, I haven't actually heard the car run, I bought it on eBay and haven't picked it up yet, so it could very well be, but the owner made it sound pretty bad. One thing I don't quite understand though is why i would need to use the cam etc. from the '89. Arent they both LH jetronic? Or is the '89 Motronic? It seems like swappig the cam is a little scary because the buckets and cam journals will be worn to match the existing ones. Is this not a concern on this engine? The 740 is supposed to have a rebuilt head so maybe swapping the whole head is better.
Thanks again,
Phil
