Hi guys, I here doing this again after my wife disconnected the computer and erased all the info I had typed. I am new to the bricks. I am a a Toyota fan, but I always wanted a Volvo wagon since I saw one back in the 80's. Finally I got one in a great deal with the exterior( red) color I wanted and the black upholstery I wanted. I got it back in September and I've been working on it on spare time after work. I have already pulled the engine and trans out of it. I had to put the cressy to sleep due to the fact it rusted beyond my budget and parts are practically impossible to get. One day after work I glanced at a 240 and the LED lit, Why not a 7mgte -240 combo? the engine only has 9k, yes 9,000 only since I rebuilt it.
Also I am changing the lug pattern for 5-114 to fit some 17 inch Maxima wheels.
I was blessed to find a supra in the local junk yard. The cressy hump is a front one and does not fit. The supra is mid hump and easier to make it work in the 240 chassis.

Do it. Post lots of pics. I'm a closeted Toyota fan and straight sixes are my favorite swaps in the 240. Plenty of rear sump 1JZ's floating around for cheap also.

I don't think I've ever personally seen an M engine swap, but plenty of threads on JZ series.

Hi guys ,Finally I got the pan welded, scraped and painted including sealing the pin holes with solder for a waterproof tight seal.
Here are some pictures. ( it is taking longer than usual due to being tired after work and hardly acces to the shop with no remote. I have to depend on the painter to be at the shop because he is rebuilding a studebaker. https://s20.postimg.org/ppvhv2wv1/20161204_120503.jpg

Hi guys , I got the engine and trans in already, although is a mock, because I have to pull it out again to put in the clutch.
Now I encountered a problem.The brake booster interferes with the intake manifold. I need to cut down the lower support to clear the hood, still I need to figure something out with the booster, Any ideas you guys can come up with?
thanks

Nice progress,good luck with the build.
I love the sound of a 7mgte,can only imagine one in a 240 best of both worlds really.
