Redblock knocked...time to upgrade

Depends on what kind of swap. If you do a bare bones b230ft with aw71 trans, it can be kept under 1k. Since the car is Regina, it will more than likely need a stand alone ecu(this is another added expense which can range from reasonable to expensive).

My peoples,

I can get a full longblock (with ecu harness accessories) AND an aw71 transmission for 285 out of the door :)
 

I saw that white 940 this morning and thought about buying it lol. It was just posted yesterday though, they don't come up around here often.
The guy parting out that black turbo has had it listed for a WHILE. And I mean like over a year while.
 
UPDATE:

Sorry about the delay, I have been very busy.

I was able to get a sweet motor. A B230FT from a 1995 940 turbo. I got the engine and transmission for 180 bucks :D

Here are the pics of my progress:

AW71 looks like area around crank position sensor was cut out with an old tooth? weird...

I am pressure washing the engine bay right now. After that is done and I swap the CPS flexplate ring and join trans back on the new motor will be dropped in!!!!!!!!

That looks like you have a replacement AW71 from a pre LH2.4 car that did not have the molded-in cutout notch for the CPS, and someone hacked out the CPS hole by hand. If you're lucky, it might have come from a Turbo car with factory transmission tweaks for the extra power.

Hey everyone!

I am asking great progress with the swap! Pics soon! I need help though, I am replacing the stock O2 sensor with a wideband that has an out for narrowband useage. I need the wiring diagram for the Volvo Rex Regina O2 sensor so I can hook up the narrowband output correctly. Thanks!!!
 
I thought it was advisable not to use the WBs NB output for lh or regina? I used the stock NB as is and just installed my WB completely separately to have no effect at all on injection. Can anyone else chime in?
