You coulda bought my car, it was up on craigslist a while back but havent updated cuz it's basically sold.
It was a wagon with a B230ft motor, butt dyno put it at around 270hp. It was a fun car, time to build my own Quote:

I thought material wise, the cost of swapping a Ford V8 into a 240 is pretty low (probably much lower than swapping engines of civics/nissan etc).. since there are plenty of wrecked Mustangs.. get one, swap out and that's done.
Technically it is pretty straightforward too since 2xx and 7/9xx the engine bays are HUGE!

Don't be afraid of higher mileage, as 200,000 is good for these cars. Any lower, then you also run the risk of it having certain seals hardening up due to lack of use. I found that out with my 120k car. Stay away from whiteblocks (960s) as they can be a hassle, 760s after 1988 are a GREAT deal, redblocks (240s/740s/940s) will last forever, especially 1990+ ones, and 850s are good.....but the maintenance costs are significantly higher as much more labour is needed to get them fixed. www.brickboard.com is a great resource, especially if you're looking into getting an older RWD brick as the site will tell you some of the stuff to look out for.
Your girlfriend needs a Volvo. It is her destiny.  | |

I patched mine about a dozen times before giving up. A new one was going to cost me too much.
red block motor had at least 360,000km on it ( odometer didnt work ) and it could have gone another 50k easy
also, thanks to volvo for making non-interference engines break a timing belt and no catastrophe !

Wow, i didn't expect so many volvo lovers on this site. I have a 96 850 turbo. Great car to drive and not too bad to drive 10 km/l as long as you don't floor it too hard. I have thought about getting a new ECU. Too bad it's not a simple flash, instead it seems like there has to be some soldering and resoldering of the chip. Which i'm not too comfortable with. Would be nice to get a little bit more power.

Yeah, swapping the ECU and chipping it seems to be popular. Not all of them can be chipped.
If you thought 240s were old school.....how about a 1,152 HP Volvo 142 from your grandpa's days? O_____________O It's running the same redblock motor as my car HAHAAHHA  http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=180262 | |

I have a 1998 V70 I bought about 7 months ago with 186,000k on it.
I definitely don't regret it.
I just wish it was a T5, but I like the fuel economy it has now. [/oldfogey]
