what engine fits in my 88 740 besides the 2.3 iv seen some with ford 5.0 but does it fit in direct or do i have to change trannies or weld engine mounts?????????????pls help
i bought a conversion kit(converse enginerring) for my 88 740 from USA, and installed a mustang 5.0 liter,t5 transmission, not to much work, a good 100 hours..the original volvo radiator is too small(which i learned in a very hard way), some say to use a 760 or a diesel rad, but those are also way to small.
a quick google and you'll see that a number of different engines were successfully transplanted, some easier than others. possible due to the fact that the 240's bay is massive (i should know from owning one, lol).
Had an 850 w/ 5 cyls... loved the car... held up for 16 years. Fantastic car, loved driving it. So smooth, great for long distances. RIP!

i might listen like a volvo B engine, but it is a V8 you can hear that, btw B engine has 5 cylinders

240's never came with 5 cyl b series engines. in fact, neither did the 740. volvo put their 5 cylinders in the 850's and up.
