Greetings all,
This and many threads here have been invaluable as a reference for starting my new 244 project. I have used the site over the years and now have joined to consult and share on this Volvo experience. now.
83 244T non-I/C. I just had the pleasure of putting the 120,000th mile on her and fully intend to put the 500,000th and beyond. IPD Timing belt kit, Cap-rotor & wires, some vacuum hose and Hella H4 lamp upgrade are all on the way. I have a lead on a Volvo collector in the area here that may or may not have the parts required to install an inter cooler(I'm still thinking stock I/C but I've looked into liquid/air as well....hmmmm).
if the resource out here falls through, the parts are all avail on E-bay as well,
I just don't want to pay that price.
Is it necessary to have the block drilled to fit a knock sensor?
Is the gear change to the AW71 a necessary alteration or merely a recommendation?
Thoughts on going with a b23ft style intake, or can I get plenty out out of the (on top) throttle body style?
I have so much more to ask. anyway.
thanks.
VolvoMafia, It's awesome to see that there are even more Volvo fans out there and I look forward to trading notes on your 240.
