I just got my first b2 after tring to get it from my aunt for seven years. It's been parked under a tree for the last six years. The question I have the books I have say that the 2.9 wasent used untill 88 or 89 mine has a 2.9 injected. Does not look like a engine change everything looks right. anybody got a answer.
