Re: Will a '83 Eng. work in a '77 - (Both 240's) 200 1985

Yes, and no. The easiest way to use it is to use the head off the 77. The

83 has LH injection which uses the injector ports in the manifold. The

77 has K-jetronic and the injectors are in the cylinder head. So, the easiest thing is to switch the head over and now you'll have a B23F with

K-jetronic injection. Of course, if you like projects you could unbolt the

entire injection system off the 83 complete, and put it into the 77 and have an LH injected 77. The fuel pumps are incompatible so its best to

change over everything if you do this. Personally I like the simplicity

of the K-jet and its easier to add performance modifictions to the K-jet

than the LH. The K-jet will compensate for more fuel and air at high rpms

better than the LH.
