Now you're starting to get it...the oil pump needs to be from the B230 to fit, it's just that it has the pick up tube for the slanted engine. You can either have the original pump pick up shortened or graft on the pick-up from the B20 pump. There is no swapping the wire over per se as the donor cars have integrated wiring harnesses...it's a veritable rats nest of connectors and junk you don't need. So get the 240 harness as I've suggested or get a LH 2.2 harness from Dave Barton who now sells them for people swapping 740 stuff into 240's. It really is a lot less work to do it this way - well trodden ground.
Dee Works is now making the Avalanche (Dale/Matt) adapter for T5's into a variety of engines. Contact him
http://www.deeworks.ca/en/universal.html This would require that you have a M46 bell housing, but that should be no problem and may come with your donor car if it isn't an automatic. This is the adapter I've got in my car - fitting was butter.
Stock is fine for a while - depends on how you drive. If your a smoky burn-out kind of guy, then I'd say no. The 1800 rear doesn't bolt into the wagon - so let that idea fade. The best option is to use a ditch-water common rear from a 240. Baring that the standard light truck Toyota solid axle (8") is bull strong and available.
Already... Lets recap (the big things).
- Get a 940 with a B230FT and M46.
- Modify pick up tube or swap B20 oil pump
- Get a T5 and have the tunnel modified.
- Get a 240 harness (used for 740's) from a Dave Barton.
Anything else?
Thanks,
