I want to do a engine switch on my 340-84 dl with a b14and the engine i want to put in it is a b21
I know that I must swap everything behind the engine like the clutch , gearbox shaft etc.
"I have a 360 whith a b19a in that i can take pick stuff from"
does anyone know if it can be done whitout weld everything to make if fit
i know the engine fastener has to be rebuilt
grateful for proposals how to do this
or is it a impossible project ???
Cheers, Peter.
An 82 to late 84 360 will have either the carbed 92bhp B19A (stromberg) or a
112bhp B19E (bosch LE jetronic). They are effectively a B200 without the low friction mods and a 10.0 or 10.3:1 CR - only any good on leaded fuel really...Anyhow
To swap a B14 to a B19/ B200 you'll need everything rear of the engine- thats bell housing, clutch etc, torque tube, gear linkage, gearbox and drive shafts, rear hubs, and rear subframe. You'll also need to use the 360 fuel tank and support straps as a 4 speed B14's tank placement will prevent the 5 speed 360 gearbox fitting.
You'll need the 360 steering rack, and front subframe, and front springs and anti-roll bar (the B19/200 engine is heavier than the crap B14 unit)
Obviously take the engine bay wiring loom from the 360 also and complete exhaust system, and radiator.
Personnally I'd look for a complete car rather than do the swap as its quite involved (as you can see!)
