Didn't Volvo produce an XC70 or 90 V8 using the same 4.4 V8 Yamaha engine?
If so you could buy one ready-made................

A V8 240 would be a splendid thing. Starting to wonder what the bell housing bolt pattern is and what RWD gearboxes might fit!

Toyota/Lexus 1UZ engine and A340E auto box - the box is near-identical to the AW7x boxes as fitted to later 240s etc, a guy in the Netherlands (i think) even produces engine and gearbox mounts and has already done this conversion, others are doing similar and have done around the globe.
Gives you a 4.0 V8 with 250+bhp easily and is surprisingly economical, even in it's original host car.
