Converting a 242GT to a B21FT... 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be dlot on  Thu Jan 2 17:08 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,
Only a total originality purist would be upset with all that power in a lighter car. I think it's great. Personally, I've seen Bertone 262 models with B21FT power. It helped the value of the car in my opinion. It's a complete bolt in process. You probably want to upgrade the fuel pump as well but it all bolts on. The best way is to buy a doner. I pick up turbo parts cars in NJ for very fair prices. Buy a complete car and move the parts over. Refurbish as necessary and you'll have a turbo GT. This is a serious amount of work involved but it has been done.

Have to get one of the R sport gauge clusters. That would be really nice.
Wish you well.
