To start at the beginning, I bought a 92 245 when I turned 16 for a way to lug around all my music gear. I soon fell in love with the car, blah blah blah, skip a year and a half, I buy my 242. It had 242k miles on it when I bought it and was a good-looking, rolling danger zone. Anyway, I've spent a year fixing random crap, doing brakes, interior, trim, little things.
I've posted these in another thread, but for the sake of being an all inclusive project thread, here's two quick pics of the car as it is.
The enigne bay a few days after I bought the car, I tore right in, fixing little things trying to get k-jet to work the way it should, which was a pain.
But now, it's time to give the ole B21FT a rest, especially after it got a big F on its leak down test I gave it a few days ago (cylinder #2 was holding half the line pressure, others were similar).
I've been searching for a little while for a low mileage 93 or later squirter B230ft block that I could just rering, reseal, and megasquirt with no worries. That was harder than I thought so my dad ending up finding and buying a 150k mile block from a 93 940 Turbo. Here's the motor just after getting home.
SQUIRTERS!!!
Preliminary Wash after partial strip down
Further teardown shall commence tonight. Current plans that I'm sure of include a full rebuild and MSII. I'll probably just run EZK ignition to start with. I'll be painting everything (engine, engine bay, little stuff) so it will all look purdy. I'll be staying with the M46 for now. Basically, nothing crazy, just a solid reliable performer when I'm done. I'll keep you posted.

It's our drag car that me, my brother and my dad built. Mildly built 302 (Carb, intake, mild cam, light valve work, Crane capacitor discharge ignition, open headers, a few other small things), C4 tranny, gutted interior, roll cage, a few other chassis stiffening devices. That's about it, nothing wild, but it's lots of fun to drive at the strip.
