  • do they have a welded diff?

  • @JoeysFunFarm

    Mine (the green one) has welded diff.

  • man thats awesome, im about to drop a chevy 350 in my '83 242. i love the body style of the ones on this video tho. so good lookin! which one of those was yours? and what motors were in those?

  • @mxslotkin

    Thanks for the input on the video.

    The green one is mine.

    It was a 1975 244L wich was the cheapest one in volvo 240 series that year.

    From the factory it had a 2L 4cyl (B20) with a 4 gear manual transmission.

    When i rebuilt it i took out the engine, transmission and the driveshaft.

    I replaced it with a chevy 355 (5.8L), Muncie manual transmission and a solid own designed driveshaft.

    I dynoed it when i was finished and pulled 344rwp.

  • i just sold my Volvo 244 85, I was looking on the Engien and i fought How the hell is a V8 going to fit ? is it a Smallblock or Bigblock ? meen Smallblock most be easyer to put in then the big block Need to Weeld and Change the hole Engien conpartment :S

  • The engine was a 355 chevy smallblock.

    Look at my other video and you will get an idea about how i did it..

    Thanks
