I have access to a great B230 from a 93 245. I know this engine personally and is available for free. I want to use the block in my 1980 242. I am trying to think of any problems I may have with compatibility.

I know there will be a conflict between the oil trap and the K-jet air flow housing. I would guess that I could vent the motor through the valve cover like the b21f. Correct?

Water pump would have to be for the B230, any problems with mating to the cylinder head?

I am almost positive that I will not have any problems bolting up motor mounts along with the existing M-46 tranny.

Was the 93 the round tooth belt? I have changed the belt on this engine a couple of times and do not remember it being any different. Will the cam pulley from the b230 head fit the b21 head, or should I convert the other way?

I hope I am not missing anything.

Thanks for your input.
