Have a customer who needs a fuel distributor for their '85 244 turbo. Having a REAL hard time finding anybody that can rebuild them. Anybody happen to have a used one on hand?

'95 940 sedan. P/N 3546634. Pelican Parts is the only place that lists one, called and not in stock. Can't find one with any of my wholesalers, or the dealer. Anybody have a recommendation before I tell this girl she has to junk her poor Volvo because of an NLA brake system part?

Not sure where else to ask this, so I figured I'd start here. What is the newer Volvo 5 cylinder ECU thats able to be tuned, have immobilizer etc deleted and generally be able to be run in a non-Volvo vehicle? Apparently nobody can make the ME7 work in a non-Volvo (which is odd, because...

Sooo, what are the choices these days? Is it still mostly T5's & G265's? I ask because we're toying with the idea of doing a stupid swap, on the cheap side. 16v turbo reblock making 300-400 wheel in an E36 ti drift car. Whatever trans that goes behind it needs to be able to handle abuse -...

For solid axle cars, sedans or wagons - what are the desired wheel rates and springrates one would be looking for for coilovers? Assume streetcar, most common tire size ranges so I'm assuming not rubber bands). I've been selling DGR coilovers for about a year+ now and we're very happy with...

I've recently sold out of the 2nd production run of V8Volvos LS mounts. Fascinating, lol. Even a couple sets went to Australia! This has certainly been a hell of a learning experience, and getting to know some of you guys doing these swaps has been great. Since sales have ramped up and I've...

http://www.lsmotorswap.com/sbc-bbc-discussion-performance/113-mercruiser-swap-arms.html#post218 Mounts for SBC. No idea on the height obviously, but might be a cheap/easy way to mount a Gen I in a 7/9. Not adjustable either. But hey, they're $50! Somebody buy them and let us know if they fit??

coupon code: blackfriday13 Just got this in my email (I'm on their mailing list, they're local here, and I do like Jerry, he's a good guy). Thought I'd share. Tis the season as they say. No restrictions, minimums, or maximums. Good 'till Dec. 2.

I found a local CL ad for a non-running 240 diesel, and am curious what it's worth, assuming it's in fairly good condition. Claim lots of new parts, and it simply woulnd't start one day. Also claim full 'greasecar' conversion. Any rough starting point??

Somebody asked, and now we're delivering. This thread is to discuss the differences between the FWD & RWD GM 3800's. Their small, compact design can make them a great option for swapping into a Volvo chassis. They're heavy though, so not a good option for a track car, but they can make...

Thats right. I decided it's time. My car is still sitting, there is still a TON to do, but I've made a personal decision. I've gotten past that first big personal milestone - I bought my first house. Now it's time to do something fun for me. Show off what I've built: the power, the...

Just random curiosity at the moment, as I crawled under my car last night and saw that my front lower control arm bushings (the inner ones) are yet again trashed. ~25k miles on them, and completely torn in 2. No wonder I have a death shake above 70. Has anybody, race teams included, done any...

So, I've started a discussion on the V8Volvos facebook page regarding mounts. Thank Wren, he's offered to potentially let me use one of his cars to do the development on. I'd like to keep ALL discussion of this in one central place, so if you're interested please post on the facebook page...

OK, so the sunroof in my '95 965 has been leaking for some time. Well, now it's getting worse. I'm assuming it's either clogged drains (most likely) or just a torn/worn leaking sunroof seal. I can't find the drains when looking in from the top of the sunroof, or under the car. Where should I...

So, after some research, it seems NOBODY makes longer wheel studs for my '95 960. Were these cars ever raced like the 850's/240's were? I'm guessing if they were, the hubs probably came off and were machined for something else. Anybody have any tips? Thanks!

SO, I'm having some issues with the fan on my 960, and part of it is the connections at the relay (I think). When it should be on and it's not, if I grab the relay and the wiring moves just right, it kicks on. Does anybody sell new connectors/pins for that relay that I can splice in myself?

There is a rubber cap on a port on the passengers side of my radiator about halfway down. My car overheated and that ripped and burst the other day. Where can I get another one of those, and does it have a specific name? Thanks!

First off - Mods, if this is in any way a violation of terms of service or any other rules, please immediately delete and please send me a PM. The moment everybody has been waiting for, the arrival of the official V8Volvos.com 700/900 series motor mount kit! These mounts are not hodge-podged...

Good news! 700/900 Series LS motor mounts are now officially in development! These mounts are being designed with the truck intake manifold in mind for those of us that want to keep costs under control during these swaps. What that means, is that the engine will be placed as low and as far back...

I can't find a thread anywhere for it (even used the search function), but what do some of the older cars get for fuel economy? Considering maybe a 242 or 244, or maybe a TD-powered something, but trying to get to that 30 mpg point. Any suggestions??
