I have always wanted to do a V8 swap on an old 240 :)

Natural gas burner too. Strange.

I have a friend in Portland OR that is redoing the twin turbo Chev SB in his 80 242 because it didn't go fast enough. He already killed the best Volvo rear that would fit and had to upgrade to a custom ford 9 inch rear axle assy.
I think he is after something that will shorten the wheel base of the car when he dumps the clutch.
It is a sleeper though. He had wider rim sections welded into stock wheel center so he could use those original volvo caps and trim rings. There is also a stock 240 transverse muffler at rear with rusty tailpipe sticking under bumper in stock place, the exhaust exits under car and is fairly well hidden.
