940 GLE 50K miles 1992 (Canada, US only 1991).

Last year I had the famous oil pump pulley bolt break in my B234F. After a few thousand bucks, I am happy with the repair.

This year I plan on replacing the bolt again (20K after), just because it only costs 5$ and saves me the worry.... I read about plastic tensioner gear too now and am getting shills down my back.

Though the car is beautiful and drives great (low mileage garage kept), in the case that the worst ever happens again I am wondering if I can replace the B234F with a used B230F?
How swappable is the engine, in terms of engine management i.e. wiring harness & sensors, etc... and all the auxillary stuff? Which B230 year would I have to go after? LH2.4, post 1992?

I am figuring that swapping out the head is likely not as simple as swapping out the entire engine...

I am asking this on the basis that if a swap cannot EASILY be done, I might consider putting the car up for sale for exchange with a B230 car. Can't go through that big $$$ again...
Performance is not an issue with my wife.

Advice?

Thanks,

I don't know about the swap but what I will do is sell it right now when it is in good working condition and get a good 940 w/ a B230 that you are looking for.Anything between 93-95 would be good. Don't discount the 940T because IMHO they are not performance oriented cars but simply a good, reliable, safe car with good power when you need it. I've got two bricks w/ B230f and one w/ b230ft and I like them all but I appreciate and enjoy the B230ft. My wife who is not a "performance" person likes to borrow the b230ft, she said the power is "very functional" and that's how I see it too....Good Luck!!!
