Hi Aaron,

I've done a couple of swaps, V8 into 83 245GL, b230f into 83 245 diesel--while I haven't done exactly what you're thinking of doing (no carbs with either of mine), I may be able to answer the odd question or two. I took lots of notes regarding the ignition/wiring on the diesel (that was the biggest challenge with that swap)--hope I can still find them . . . .

BTW, Michael has done a great job on the exhaust (duals) for his V8 (getting the exhaust finished was the biggest challenge on our V8).

Let me know if you need any info.

Best,

Steve A-
