Chad's 84 245 B21FT to D24T Swap
After Chad's accident we have begun swapping the engine from wrecked car to shell 245 turbo wagon. Just a few things to swap here and there, and we'll be coming home thanks to Anders!

Looking good!
You guys keep trading cars... I can't even keep track of who is driving what now! Anders, you sold your 244?? Cole has the 760 again? Always nice to see a gasser being pulled out and a proper diesel powerplant dropped in...

The d24t swap went pretty well. I believe we started at around 10:00am and the silver wagon with its new d24t/m46 combo drove onto the trailer at 1:00 am. Pretty fast swap considering the silver wagon was an automatic.
Hopefully chad will update the thread, it still needs the engine harness repaired/rebuilt and a few odds and ends. There has been some car swapping going on. I'm onto the next project, a 242 turbodiesel! Build thread will be here soon.

Sounds good. Think it definitely took me several days when I put the diesel in my 745, though that was with doing a lot of work to the motor itself too... But I didn't have to do a manual swap!
What did you guys do for the fuel system?

1. The 8 wire plug on the firewall is a pretty straight forward conversion, the wires are just in different locations and the diesel needs less than 8. 2. Going from a manual to an auto car you have to locate the neutral safety switch and bypass it for the key to engage the starter. 3. Diesel's have a very high rear end ratio (3:31) and turbos car's have a very low rear end ratio (3:91). For now I may not even need 1st gear. 4. Hooking up the glow plugs via a momentary toggle switch is really easy. 5. Cole (aka, Rollincole) is a freaking trooper. I dragged his ass with me to do the swap at Anders house. Left Puyallup at 8am, started the drive home at 1:30am, I was falling a sleep at the wheel towing my car back and gave Cole 2 options. I drive and we die, or you drive and we maybe don't die, (cause he had never driven a truck and car trailer before), plus he was just as tired as me. He got us home safe and sound though. |
