t5Hi, my brother posted about my 240 glt the other day
Wanting to put a 940 HPT in it and give it 300 bhp, or an 850 T an S60 turbo, or a 960 3.0 .
940 HPT
1) Heard you need an M90 gearbox for big power but does not fit straight in, Believe it is shorter and you need to sort the gear control, Will the M47 gear control bracket fit onto an M90 or is more work needed to make the gear lever come through the 240 standard hole, Also have heard the M90 is fatter , does the tunnel need any modification. Can you use the standard 240 cross member and mounting to afix the M90 without modification.
2) People say you should fit a 900 series rear axle mainly so the you get a speedo connection for the M90 but I have been told by my volvo breaker that this axle is too wide and no way can you connect it to the 240 suspension mounts.
3) Lets assume you somehow fit the 940 axle how do you get the signal to work , will the 940 speedo fit in the 240 binacle, if not what is the solution.
4) Does the exhaust and turbo interfere with the standard 240 stuff, eg master cylinders etc.
850 T5 or S60
1)Has anyone ever done this mod.
2)How tall is the engine from sump to the top.
3) Presume I need an adapter to fit the engine to the M90 anyone got a template for making the plate.
4)Will the flywheel on the 850 into the M90 bellhousing.
feel the sump could be a problem, does anyone know if there is any plumbing or oil pump etc that would stop reforming the sump so it fits over the 240 cross member.
960 3.0 engine
Basically the same info as above on this engine.
I am sure There is a lot of things I have not asked , pleaswe feel free to tell me any problem I have missed.
I would be a very strong buyer of a fully sorted car
