Swapping an 84 turbo longblock into an 86 TI Daytona. We were short on options, good running turbo mopars in the PNW are few and far between. Anyways the way I see it is we have two options to make it run happily.
One would be to pull the 86 LM and replace it with an 85 LM which is no problem since I have an extra. Going this route we could use the distributor from the 84 correct?
The other way would be to keep the 86 LM and go grab a later distributor. But then we will have a G headed engine running on swirl electronics.....I know it's been done before but I'm not sure what to do with the timing, ect...
If using the 85 LM will be basically "plug and play" I would much rather go that route. But I don't want to ruin this engine because of something stupid.
