My 300k mi B23 in my '83 is pretty worn out. I can't get any of the seals to stay anymore and it is just tired - tolerances are a bit loose too. I have a B230F in my garage from an '85 that I'd like to rebuild while I drive the '83 and then do the swap one weekend once the rebuild is complete. I need to know what I would need to do to swap THE BLOCK, NOT the whole computer system, as I've already put a bunch of time and $$ into rebuilding this harness.
What I know:
- The AC belt for the York AC from the B23 will need to be forced into the pulley with a bump start, as the B230 pulley does not split.
What I'm not sure about:
In order to run this block on the standard ECU and harness from the '83 B23, what would I do to ensure proper fuel flow for the B230, which has less compression than the B23? Do I use the injectors from the B230?
Anything else that anyone can think of? I've got the B230 block stripped and am trying to get it bored out and the crank ground this week, so it's decision time before I do that.
Thanks!
