Hello all,
This is, erm, my first post and my first Volvo and my first engine swap to boot. I am in over my head to say the least but so far so good. Enter the 2 door 240 turbo that had a blown B21FT as well as the '89 745 with a decent B230FT that will be going into the 242.
So far I have bought a conversion wiring harness from Prancing Moose and am awaiting it in the post, making an inventory of parts needed and removing the original drive train from both vehicles.
My most dismaying discovery was finding that the wiring harness from the grey plug into the firewall on the passenger side has completely crumbled apart (I guess I got lucky and got one of the several years where Volvo used Czech bleu cheese for wiring sheathing). I will be rewiring that shortly and refreshing the B230FT out of the 740 once it's out of the vehicle (hopefully by tomorrow).
