- on a crappy road...
So a guy had his car towed in, he was traveling and in the middle of nowhere NM it developed an engine noise. We did a quick look over and it seems he let the koolaid man out. So he decided to bail out and wanted to sell the car.
I get to see a lot of cars bailed on and the shop might buy them for scrap and then strip them but this one needed a second chance. So for $200 i am the proud owner of a 1977 242.
Meet Old Yellow
Its a non a/c non p/s car with Oregon plates and the owner lived in Berkely, so it comes with dirty hippie creds and the faint smell of patchouli and smoke.
So it needs an engine and here is my dilemma.
I just acquired a 16v head with all the pieces and my plan was to build a 16v motor and use my Freds chipped LH2.2+EZK and drop it in my 86 240 (see Sig) and with a replacement m47 and a g80 that I just came on to.
Or my new plan.
Put the AW72 from a 940 (the 16v came in) in to my 86 dial the boost back a few lbs and just keep it as a slightly hopped DD
And drop the 16v into the the 242 with a 15g and drop go with MS. I'm not an MS fan but since it wont be a DD I can dick with it for a while and then get it to run well and make it a fun track and summer car.
