right .... i have a 1987 volvo 340 dl auto 1.4 with 60000 on the clock ,,,, have made more repairs than i can count and just when i think shes sorted, something else goes wrong,,
so have decided to just swap the engine for one in better condition.
does anyone know which ones are a direct swap and what kind of work is envolved, i figure while im at it i may as well go for a 1.6
also where to look for a replacement engine?
or if anyone knows where i can get hold of parts for the 1.4 engine?
parts needed are:
valves,
head gasket,
carb.
what engine fits in the 340 dl?
Re: what engine fits in the 340 dl?
1700 Volvo turbo engines fit, as do Clio 1800 16v, Megane 2000 (F7R F7P) etc. Dunno about any 1600's though.

looking for a lil more power than you get from the 1.4 thats fitted but nothing too ambitious 1.6-1.8-2.0 would do me
