Hi guys, thinking about picking up an '83 to '85 240 GLT turbo when a good one pops up. I love these cars so much, but the thing that bugs me is the crazy low compression ratio of 7.5:1. Is there any way to increase the compression ratio? Any pistons I can drop in from another Volvo? Thinner headgaskets? The reason being is that I want something that I don't have to floor to make power (worried about MPG) as this will be my DD.
I'm torn between getting an '88-'89 740 turbo or one of these. I really love the lines of the 240s so much, this is the only thing holding me back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
