@sugar Bear: good call on the oil line to IP I had not thought of that.
@ t walgamuth, I thought the transmission had to be shifted back, driveshaft shortened etc to get a 617 where a 616 had been.
Maybe I need to do more research, though the turbo motor is from a wagon and has only 150K on it so I have kinda been saving it for the right wagon.
My wife dropped on me last night that christmas involves a 2600 mile road trip, so focus will turn to my 84 wagon right now to make sure its ready. I may not mess with this 240 again until after Christmas.
