So it was just plug and play with the AW70 and your current radiator and hoses/lines whatever? Or did you drill some stuff and make it work?
Its basicly plug and play, carefull manipulation of the stock hardlines was needed to hook it up. while at the yard or the donar car pull the metal adaptor lines that let it reach from the tranny cooler to the stock tranny cooler lines
Also i have a new plan laid out
im trying to buy this 91 b230ft short block for $100(the yard is closed the one day im off, mondays...its in there for a blown head gasket.
This is what im thinking
Get the block cleaned, decked, and rehone it, use 9.8 pistons and valve relief cut them for the 16v head, new bearings, stock cleaned up 13mm rods. new oil pump.
then drop the ported 8 valve head on with the ipd turbo cam ontop, new sensors all around, new red paint(it is a red block after all) new belts and water pump and seals and gaskets.
Pull the tired old b230F+T out of my car and put this one in with the 90+ exhaust manifold and the super 60 t3 turbo.
then save up for megasquirt and spark. install that on its current set up, then move onto saving up for the 16 valve swap which will be easy since the pistons are already there.
