How difficult is it to swap a manual T-5 trans into an auto 940? I've never done anything like a manual to auto swap before, so that would be a little out of my comfort zone. Also, when it's done what kind of ECU will it need? Would I have to get one from a manual 940 or 740 and swap that in?

This might be a good place to ask.

I'm looking to buy an 850R wagon.

It looks like it's in good condition, seats are good, claims it all works.

Assuming it checks out how are they? Anything to know about them?
Just gunna be a nice daily until I can afford a new project.

It's all directly relevant.

>>16639937
it's not relevant to your identity, dumbass. you use your trip for fucking everything, even when the post has nothing to do with you personally. go post on a forum if you want everyone to know who you are every time you post, otherwise stop using this already awful board like one.

>>16639945
kys, I can use my trip wherever I want, there is no rule that says I can only trip at certain times or situations.

I have both. I meant in terms of their age. I would never give up the 244. But the V70 is an amazing vehicle too. Can't beat the turbo I5 and it's got plenty of creature comforts.

>>16642069
Gotcha, nice. I might be picking up a 244 this weekend. Would be my 7th brick in 5 years. Still have my '90 245 and '91 944 turbo. Just sold a '92 245 a few weeks ago. Time to re-up!

They're prevalent in the junkyard, which is good and bad for me. Means I can get parts, but that means they'll be gone forever. 940s usually end up as donors for 240s; I pulled a 80k mile '94 B230ft and AW71 to put into my 245 for $300.

Here's my 944. Dropping the front asap and picking up fog light ecodes in a few weeks.

Do 140s and 240s have identical cabins?

>>16642931
She's a pretty girl anon. Also prancing moose FTW.

>>16642945
How do you mean? The late 140s and early 240s had pretty similar interiors and the body style was only slightly updated. And really, Volvo essentially made the same car for 30 years with small updates and improvements every few years.

>>16647138
The car itself holds up pretty well and the bertone design is a sexy brick. Only weak point is the finicky prv v6. But if you have the money to ls swap it or get a redblock in it, go for it.

Saab is better.

>>16647566
Naw, just different. They got them sexy aeroplane aesthetics tho.

>>16647138
Unreliable Peugeot V6 and they have trick self-leveling independent rear suspensions that are expensive to maintain although there are coil-over kits available but they're also $$$$

This guy wanted to swap a 302 windsor into his sedan yet couldnt finish it.

He's offering to sell both the motor and the car together also.

>>16648758
If you can finish the swap, don't see why not. Volvos and V8's go well together.

Great cars to drive, the '89 and 90 models had independent rear suspension and are way better than the 87 and 88. Also later cars came with the 4 cylinder b230FT, which is far more fun than the PRV. The only downside is that they never came manual, but a later model should be reliable, comfortable, and fun.

Pic related: My bricks including my new v8 bertone that I just had shipped from across the country, loving it so far.

Just bought a '91 740 today.

Power steering is fucky, A/C is out, interior is semi-shit, it's an automatic, and it idles hard. Super fun though.

I want to make it fast. What do I do to it? Can I manual swap it? I love stick.

Comfy car, talked the guy down to $550 so not a bad deal.

My '97 940 LPT.

I tested her snow driving this weekend and took her out drifting on an empty parking lot with other drifters. Was great fun. I had a small speed collision tho and ruined someones front Fender and nummer plate. My bumper was unscathed.. Brick indeed.

This is what happened to a friend's volvo after he hit some black ice and ran over two streetsigns. The big, thick fuckers that get their own little concrete foundations. He drove it home afterwards, with not even a scratch on him.

>>16652758

>drove that thing home

how? that shit looks deep enough to fuck up at least engine mountings or push other things far enough that in turn push the rest

>>16639894

Random plastic bits will break and fall off. They're easy to work on, lots of information, common, a little aftermarket too, comfy and get okay mpg. They're old cars and as such if all the basics haven't been replaced they will need to be. They're a great car. Very well rounded and have some character.

>>16652767
Very carefully is how. The car got fucked, no doubt. And the engine is a goner. But it started and drove at least the 12 km he had home.

>>16649097

I own one of these and so far Ive been very pleased with the reliability even though it's a special snowflake.

I have an 89, so have have both the redblock 4 cylinder and the nicer-looking muti-x rims. While the reliability of the engine itself is no concern. Volvo crammed every electronic gadget in here they could. This car cost almost 50K in 1989. it's filled with all kinds of wring that is more complex than a 240 or even a basic 740. Also some of the Italian body work isn't exactly as massively built as my 240. Interior door card fitment, more prone to rust, leaky sunroof etc.

They made less than 10,000 of these. if somebody drives into one of the body panels you're not going to find a replacement and your insurance company will probably try to give you 2K to total the car.
