Hi and welcome to the V3M madness! Nice Volvo there, loving the r-sport cluster in yellow, and the 'detachable face off stereo!' That is ace!

You're a bad, bad man. That thing is going to injure the drivetrain when it's running.
Aaron needs no introduction beyond these two points...1) that car, 2) he pointed out my R-Sport kit to me. Legend.
cheers

its not done yet. as soon as the engine is sorted, i have all the parts needed for the 13" brembro brakes. also have a six speed trany, but still need to get adapters done for it. until then, i guess i'll just have to suffer driving the 780 around.
still want a 340 james, the engine was packaged with an eventual conversion into one planned. 200's are just too heavy.
hit up a fe scrappy's online in the uk, dont want to tear into an engine to get such a small part.
if anyone has the part number, i'll see what i can do about finding them on this side of the pond.

I'll be able to pull a couple of sets from them....it's just a bit of a PITA as I have to take two cams out
If you know someone in the military, we could arrange an import...

You'll need a 360 waterpump and pulley, and a 360 oilpan and pump.
cheers

Good news Aaron....I just heard I have another week in Derby, so that makes a trip to the yard in the next couple of days a definite possibility.
