I plan to not break into the AC system as it works fine. The body of the 79 has rust but the engine I rebuilt is premo as is the body and interior of the Euro 85.
I'll keep the 79 with the euro engine for a winter driver since they have decided to use salt on roads around
Seattle now. Any thoughts on the swap which shouldn't be too big of a deal if the blocks are the same?
If its a 240 do yourself a favor and go straight to a Sanden--larry bible on BW can direct you where to get that bracket, your 240 doesn't need to expent 15 hp that it cant spare on the hockey puck,, The sanden only leeches 7!
