I think the biggest problem you would face fitting the B234F engine in your 1986 GLT with B230E is that the B234F has a LH electronic injection whereas the B230E will have the mechanic K-jet. This means that you will need to rebuild the whole electrical system. The ECU will not work, you will need to buy a complete engine will all the accessory bits. It can certainly be done but it would be easier to buy a 740 16v.

Hi peter,
sorry for dragging this up but you mentioned that 90 model 240 Glt's had the B234 is that correct.or is it the 740s.
Reason i ask is a guy contacted me about a 240 he was selling but he mentioned he has a 90 GLT 244 for sale in june, if its got the B234 i think ill take his arm off at the shoulder!!
