Re: Volvo 340 wanted for drivetrain parts

If you arn't scared of tigging, I have a broken 340 bellhousing that we can come to an agreement with ;) http://www.flickr.com/photos/c_cardwell/sets/72157625612902749/ That's in Southampton so would be easier too. That crack was due to bad engine mounts putting the entire setup out of line, might ...

Re: Volvo 340 wanted for drivetrain parts

Thanks Chris I might have to have a look at some, because google doesn't help much. It might be road trip time. The two look to be kind of different. My guess is that the best option would be to make a new back plate, with the 360 bearings, and mounting holes. Then cut the back off the 340 housing a...

Nice to have, but tricky to make. Though it behaves like a much bigger (than 1.7) engine, with the lack of lag. Though I don't think I'll be making any more.

I hope to find some use for this engine, since so much went into creating it.

Re: Volvo 340 wanted for drivetrain parts

I suppose the main question is will the 360 clutch output shaft bolt directly to the 340 bellhousing? If so then a 360's drivetrain with its torque tube coupled with the Renault bellhousing would be better suited to take the power you hope to make. I agree the 360 drivetrain setup would be pereffer...

Re: 340 1.4s wanted for banger racing in South West

Considering I recognise the username from another forum, I'm really hoping you find some parts soon chap. That engine showed a huge amount of awesome! I hope so too. Ive made a new topic here, with a few pics. Hopefully it will work out. I have also thought of dropping the engine into a 340, but it...

Volvo 300 series drivetrain parts

I am after a complete 340, or maybe 360 (as long as the 340 1.7 clutch housing can be fitted). I have this engine, from a Volvo 480, but its a Renault based engine, like the 340. Except the turbo (not visible), and supercharger of course. It should produce 525lb/f torque, and 380bhp. http://lh5.goog...

Re: 340 1.4s wanted for banger racing in South West

If for any reason, more than one is available, then I would be interested. Mot failures aren't a problem, nor is the engine. As long as the drivetrain is good, that is just about all I need. The plan is to fit the 340 drivetrain into a kit car, in the usual configuration (front engine, rear gearbox)...
