Car Forum / Volvo Cars / April 2007Volvo 740 Dohc into a 245 5 speed manual body
Hi, I wondering if anybody had any idea if it was possible to put Dohc from my 89 740 gle into my 245 wagon?the 245 wagon is 5spd sohc the 740 a automatic. I know I got to move the distributor and swap transmissions. Is there anything else that I should do? Anybody done this before? Help I want to do this so bad. > Hi, I wondering if anybody had any idea if it was possible to put Dohc > from my 89 740 gle into my 245 wagon?the 245 wagon is 5spd sohc the > 740 a automatic.

For all the work, why not put in a turbo engine?

Is there room for the standard distributor? You might have to go with distributorless ignition. It can be done though, I've seen it done. The 16V is a nice motor, very smooth. > Hi, I wondering if anybody had any idea if it was possible to put Dohc > from my 89 740 gle into my 245 wagon?the 245 wagon is 5spd sohc the > 740 a automatic.

No I don't want the turbo due to the gas prices and the fact the motor in my gle only has 130,00 thats barely broken in. Yes I can move the distributor, but if anybody has a link on how to do a distrubutor ignition let me know.

Jason The turbo should get comparable fuel economy, but since you already have a good motor from a (presumably) wrecked car then go for it. As for distributorless, do a search for Ford EDIS, that seems to be the most common one people transplant. You could also use Megasquirt & Spark to control both the fuel and ignition, that's more work but a LOT more versatile. |
