ummm?? You had a 240 axle before right? and when you now put on a 740 axle is going to be much wider. Or am i missing something here?

Thats right! the 740 axle is 10,5 cm wider then the 240 axle!

since i ran out of bolts and some stuff, i just jumped of the subspension and worked with the gearbox today! Finished the volvo redblock - MVE gearbox bellhusing, then i bolted it to the engine block and started making the rear bracket that holds the gearbox..
its not finished yet, still need to make room for the exhoust on the right side!

[volvo242]

just a small update :P

Dry sump tank, not finished yet..




oil pump, pully, turbo, electric waterpump, new cams


Making a new water system. the water will feed in to the block where the frost plugs used to be, to get better cooling on the rear cylinders!

Making parts:







Stock holes will be sealed!

Bracket for the electric servo pump (opel)

Holy shit that's some tech right there. I like the coolant system mods, very trick.

I'm not a big fan of Volvo. but this is awesome to read. thumbs up

[volvo242]

well, what can i say.. i like making everything myself :P

So, i need an oil - air seperator for the crankcase ventilation.. this is actualy V 2.0!
V 1.0 is resting in my trash can :P




so, air and oil mix will enter the box on the left side, go between the plates and hopfully most of the oil wil cling to the plates and mostly clean air wil pass trough the holes and out the airfilter. the bottom plate is missing, and ill weld a AN fitting to it that leads the oil back to the crank case!

æ

this is where it will live :P just need to finish it and figure out how to bolt it to the steel tubes!


i need to order some weld in AN bungs so i can finish this and the dry sump tank!

Hope you understand my shitty english :P
