As some of you may remember that we've not had much luck with our volvos recently, with the scrapping of our Mk2 340 and the engine seizing in the other 340. Well after a lot of chasing around i eventually got an offer from a friend for the use of his driveway for a month to sort it out and a week last Sunday (Thanks to Adams help) we picked up a replacement engine from a local scrapyard. The following Tuesday night we towed the car down to our friends and then on the two following nights i disconnected everything connected to the engine, labelled everything and took plenty of reference photos and sorted out the hire of an engine hoist for Saturday.
Anyway Saturday came and with only a bit of grief with the prop shaft the engine was out.

Oh it poured down with rain at the same time

I spent the rest of the day cleaning the new block and planning the next move. Which comes to a question, I'm going to put a new cam belt on the new block for the hell of it, but would it be worth doing water pump at the same time as i'm sure i've read that somewhere?

New (Second Hand) part clean engine
I'm sure there will be more questions to follow.
Cheers
