360 turbo conversion auto donor car

Post by loz1985 » 22 Jan 2017 09:03 pm

Hi all,

I'm just about to start my 360 turbo conversion. I would like to go down the route of the b230ft conversion but can only find 940 2.3 turbo automatic in my budget.
Can you use an automatic 940 as a donor or will it complicate the wiring or anything else? Was planning on using my current 360 box/diff and bell.

Thanks

You just need a manual flywheel is all, wiring will be the same and the benefit of the auto is it has an oil cooler for the gearbox oil which you could use for the engine oil instead on the 360.
