Ive bought a 2.3 volvo 740 turbo intercooler, 1990 H reg for spares for my 940. Is anyone interested in the engine? Its got a smokey turbo and leaks oil but is a very good quiet runner with no cam noise. Im sure it could be repaired easily with a new turbo and a damn good service, its got 111K on it I was thinking it could go into a 360? sm101

Hmm, someone should put one of those into a Redline sm14

It's not going to be me.

Mick?

aww come on! 2.3 + turbo = lots of power = women will swoon at your feet. Just think of the saxos and corsas you can blow into the gutter.

Can do that anyway with a standard 360... ;) However, turbo power is definitely the way to go!

I may just cut it out and crate it up myself, Shame to let it go to waste if it doesnt find a home. If I decided to do this conversion to a 360, what other parts would need to be removed? ECU? intercooler??

Hi,

Sorry I had to get shot of it as soon as I could as I lost the space to store it! Stripped any parts I could use and scrapped the rest.
