A couple of days ago I posted a message re: the feasibility of putting a engine from a 93 240 into my 92 944 that is a rex-regina car.

1. flexplate needs to be changed

2. plug wires will be changed ( i'm trying to keep the block mount distributor)

3. as far as wiring modifications....I intended to re-use my current rex-regina harness and most likely the entire intake setup.

Any advice or issues regarding this plan?

Thanks in advance

Have you researched to see if you can install the cam-driven distributor on the 240 engine? I don't know if you can or not, but if so, it seems that the swap would be much easier. Plus, I don't know if there are any issues with running the block-mounted distro with the Rex coil and computer.

Does the 240 cam have the slot at the back to accept the rear dizzy?

Thanks for the replies. I have not checked the cam in the 240 engine. I intended to use the entire wiring harness and intake off the old engine. Since both the regina and bosch systems have crank sensors I dont' think the distributor is a problem, but I'm not sure.

I'm curious....will all the accessory brackets bolt up to the 240 block?
I want to keep all components where they are in the 940 series.

any ideas?

thanks

I would think all would swap to the new engine, you will need to swap any regina specific sensors if there are any?
