Your claim with other web sites is true for the most part. This board and Matthews have honest, hard working people who enjoy helping others. We don't try to 'out' people with rude answers. That's why I live here! It is a good neighborhood.

Too bad there is too much rust on your 242T. The hardest part will be to install a sun roof. The cut has to be exact so it will never leak.

The suspension mountings are the same in both cars, the Turbo has shorter springs and shocks. But if you put the heavier V8 in the front, those springs will not be enough.

Move the rear end to the new car if you keep the clutch. You will need to drill a hole in the firewall, but no big deal with the clutch assembly swap.
