I am trying to gather information on how to put a later five cylinder engine, likely from an 850, into an early 240. The one thing holding me back is the transmission. The whole idea would be to keep the thing rear wheel drive, but it's impossible to find something in the US to do that with. I have heard many people talk about using a Volvo transmission called the M90 which was apparently only available in Europe on some models that I don't know the details of. However, I still don't even know for sure if that will bolt up to a five cylinder. If so, I think a group buy needs to be arranged as I doubt I'm the only one interested. If not, what does fit? I have this great dream of a 242 with horspower greater than an 850R and I want to get the project moving.
Any thoughts? Aside from me being nuts.
