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

Yes Bill,

The tranny will work and bolt right up. You should take advantage of the

relay type wiring setup for the O/D in the 83. Another main difference is the splines on the tranny input shaft are finer so you want to use the clutch from the 83 with the trans. The flywheels are the same on both cars. Also the drive shaft flange should be checked to make sure they are the same or you can just use the driveshaft from the 83 if you don't want to take a chance. Ohh, the joy of easy to interchange parts. I really like the early cars for their simplicity. Its great to add refinements from the later cars, to make them nicer, too. This should be a really nice setup

with the extra torque from the 2.3 being a nice improvement.

Wish you well,

Dave 82 242ti
