I?m going to be swapping an ~88 lh2.2 b230f into a 92 240 with lh3.1. I know it?s not ideal but it?s the motor in hand. Had a few questions before I dive in as to not run into any major unexpected inconveniences.
1) I assume this is the same case as b21>2.4/3.1 motor where I must drill and tap the 2 holes for the CPS bracket. Is this something that can be relatively eyeballed? Plan was to trace the old block, mark the new block, and then tap/drill for m6.
2) 2.2 > 3.1 sensors like, tps, cts, etc etc is as simple as a direct swap from old to new. I think the only issue here will be the knock sensor. The new block should have a spot for it to mount to, and I will just have to grab a torque wrench for this portion so it?s the correct sensitivity.
3) For flywheel/clutch stuff, just direct swap from 3.1 motor to 2.2 motor? Both engines were backed my manuals. Gotta be careful with flywheel alignment but I?ll just put both engines at TDC (or whichever position the 3.1 engine is locked up at ) and swap straight over.
I think that?s it but if you know of any other obvious things please let me know. Thank you
