Getting there.. For some inexplicable reason, engines from 5 tonne recovery trucks do not bolt straight in to Volvos! Engine itself will be relatively easy but I'm having to re-engineer how the clutch is actuated in order for it to fit in the tunnel (it's cable, and a 'pull' clutch) using a slave cylinder mounted behind the cut down arm to make it hydraulic. I've given myself about 3 months to get it to MOT standard, which should be achievable. I've got a project thread for the car on here somewhere so I will dig it out and keep it updated once there's some actual progress. The main limitation will be finances..
Which reminds me.. Buy my stuff please |

No, the gearbox is awful and only good for weighing in so I have had no qualms about cutting bits off of it to adapt for the Iveco conversion

Have you got a picture of the flywheel on the back? I'm after one for a B230ET, but maybe Volvo used the same kind for the B230E.

clutch still on clutch off clutch on the floor.. Let me know if you need the flywheel, it'll be 'not much' plus postage For those interested, I've updated my build thread. It's obviously never going to please purists, but I like it http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=83833 |

Hi
Looks like the blue paint on the engine is the same as the blue on the front of the car. Is the engine still available as i have been thinking of fitting a 2.3 in one of mine. Has the car been converted to round headlamps as the mounts look like the round type which i reccon gave a better light than the original rectangular type. |
