    I need some good advice.
    I have a 1989 240 wagon that the engine (B230F) is shot.
    I also have a 1978 240 sedan that the body is rusted out but has a stong
    running (B21F).

    Could i swap these engines complete without encountering alot of problems ?

    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave,
    They have different injection systems which means you would have to plug
    the K-Jet holes in the head and switch intakes. There are also different
    sensors for the LH-2.2 which may or may not have the proper holes in the
    B-21 block/head. This added to the smaller displacement would lead to a
    difficult and disapointing end result. Much better idea to off the '78 as a
    parts car and look for an '88 or later B230.
