I am planning an engine transplant for my '85 760 manual stick with 230K that is idling on 3 cylinders but apparently seals up better at 2500 rpm's (the turbo pressure?) and has decent power. My question- a 1995 turbo engine with 65K is available for $900 delivered. Is it worth it? I see a 1994 turbo engine w/ 134K for $550, but John Sargent says not all the 1994 engines have the piston oil squirters and latest features of the 230 red block. Must it say 230 L to get the squirters? What would you go for?
