It started life as a gray 1989 745 GLE 16v w/M46. Junked the broken B234 and installed a fuel-injected 5.0 HO from a '90 Mustang, using a fresh Motorcraft longblock from Ford and the Mustang's T5 trans. Had a custom driveshaft built by Drivelines Northwest, and used wiring and mounting adapter bits from the Converse kit. I then spent several years perfecting it and getting it sorted. Everything about the conversion was right, down to the last detail. Clean as hell. It had a full Borla dual exhaust and IPD sways but otherwise a stock sleeper.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe guy I sold it to back on the east coast drove it for 4 years and about 40k miles with zero, I mean zero, problems. He and I stayed in touch since occasionally he would want to know more about things I had done in the conversion as he serviced the car. Got a call from the guy a week ago with the bad news. The car was T-boned as he was making a left turn; fenders untouched but both passenger doors got mashed and the B-pillar got bent in. Still ran and drove fine but the insurance company totaled it out. It's a $7k estimate to do the bodywork so this car is done in its current form.%0D%0A%0D%0ASo now what we have here is a very nice V8 Volvo in great functional condition except it's totaled and maybe about to be sent to the boneyard. The current owner is considering trying to find another good body and swapping the whole conversion over, but he's not sure if he has the space or time. I would hate to see this get junked after all that's gone into it.%0D%0A%0D%0ASo, to help him make his decision I agreed to put the word out about this and ask: would anyone here be interested in picking up the pieces from this and building Volv8 version 2.0? You would get a pretty nice, rust-free 1989 745 GLE with a 40k-mile Ford 5.0 engine and manual trans, all properly sorted and working like it should, just badly bent. You'd need another good body to put everything into, but it would be easy, no parts chasing or fabricating or wondering how it fits together. I don't know what he'd be looking at on price but maybe in the one or two grand range... what he could get for it will of course be a factor in whether he decides to let it go or not.%0D%0A%0D%0AI have no financial stake in whatever happens, only an emotional one. FWIW I still miss this car daily and would take on this project myself if I could. It's located near Baltimore. If you think you might be seriously interested in this, post here and we'll see where this goes. %0D%0A%0D%0APics here: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=172653%0A--%0AGeorge, Seattle WA http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1353092/feeler_89_745_w_ford_50lt5_well_sorted_runnerdriver_body_totaled.html?rss=1 Tue, 9 Jun 2009 01:29 GMT Those dual oil filters really saved the car!

I'm thinking about doing a V8 conversion on this car but right now, the only fully restored V8 I have is an FE block Ford 390.

Carefully maintained with oil changes every 3k miles and transmission drain/refill every 30k. Only lasted 180k miles.

So I am evaluating both. Found a real attractive 302 set up, a 2000 Mountaineer engine/transmission in warehouse storage with 11k miles. Negotiating all the little pieces and price. Several 940T cars around but all high mileage. Haven't found an attractive path to the Volvo conversion. Wreaking yard engines/transmissions are appx $1500 with attractive mileage but then would have to deal with many other parts.%0D%0A%0D%0AI have obtained both the Ford and Volvo electrical schematics and believe I can noodle out the conversion. Already rewired the diesel when the wiring rotted out.%0D%0A%0D%0AExploring motor mounts with a local hot rod builder. I have the JTR conversion manual which details the many 'things' to deal with. Just want to have a handle on all the issues before spending a couple thousand and dealing with a year's worth of problems.%0D%0A%0D%0AI would certainly appreciate any input you would provide since you have done both.

I used one of Ross Converse's first kits. It included a couple of motor mount brackets, some wiring harness adapters, hoses, harware pieces, etc., etc. One of the biggest things was the person on the other end of the phone to answer all of my questions . . . (back then there weren't as many of these things running around, and I think it was before brickboard). Everything on the car works, including most of the OBD-I stuff (the computer can't "see" the transmission or the fuel pump relay--other than that it's good).%0D%0A%0D%0AThe car has been great; wife drove it for 12 years--with no real conversion-related problems (only significant problem we had was the AOD went out when wife and mom-in-law were pulling a trailer in the mountains--not a good day, but that was long ago). %0D%0A%0D%0AI've got some pictures of the engine compartment after the swap--I can e-mail them to you if you're interested.

You could have your 82 running in weeks, rather than months, and it would still be a Volvo. LSD would be nice to have in the snow.%0D%0A%0D%0AKlaus%0D%0A%0A--%0AThe more I learn, the more I forget. So why learn? http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1360041/1982_245_restoration.html?rss=1 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:32 GMT KlausC--the logic of your suggestion is inescapable but building a "sleeper" really doesn't have anything to do with logic. The satisfaction of building and driving something unique is deeper. I've gone the route of building "all Volvo" performance cars--122 and 140 series--but the feeling while behind the wheel of my VolvOldsmobile (265 body/'63 aluminum 215 V8) is the best. I'd say, if TestPoint has the skill, knowledge and facilities-and it seems he must--go for it! My car took 3 weeks to build (albeit spread over a year and a half--but then I had limited time and $ and a fair amount of fabrication to do). Starting with the diesel body is the right move--heavier springs, vented front rotors--less original engine compartment electrics to remove. The body deserves a new life.

I'm really impartial as to whether it's a 7 series or a 9. I'd prefer a Ford powerplant, and a manual transmission, but am willing to be versatile on that too. Does anyone have one for sale or know of one for sale? I'm looking to spend in the twelve thousand range at most. I'm in SC, but can travel. Let me know what y'all know about. Leave a message here, or my email is austin.mini.man@gmail.com.%0D%0AThanks for any help. -Te http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1339429/v8_volvos_sale.html?rss=1 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:26 GMT I have my 262C Bertone V8 5.0L w. AOD listed in the IPD classifieds. http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1348368/v8_volvos_sale.html?rss=1 Mon, 11 May 2009 19:35 GMT I was kind of leaning towards a nicer one, but there aren't really enough of these around to warrant being picky. I'm either getting one of these or a V70R, hence the price target. I wouldn't mind one that needed a little work. However, I would be willing to pay the premium to find one with a manual transmission. And I'll definitely post on TurboBricks. Thanks. -Ted http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1339438/v8_volvos_sale.html?rss=1 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:02 GMT I'm a day late and a dollar short! I have an 86 244 Diesel thats in running(barely) condition. It was my wifes car and after being stranded several times this winter she's had it with the diesel cold start. We found her an 87 740GLE with only 86K on the clock that she loves. So she gave me the go ahead on the V8 swap. Let me know what need. In the past six months its gotten a new Interstate battery, a fuel pump rebuild, and new glow plugs. I think that either the cold start function is off or the fuel pump timing has jumped. email me and let me know what you what you'd like to trade. Oh and it is 4sp OD car. http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1347101/converse_kit_saletrade.html?rss=1 Sun, 3 May 2009 04:58 GMT good! sounds like you're well on your way . . . .%0D%0A%0D%0Abest regards,%0D%0A%0D%0Asteve a- http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1341680/converse_kit_saletrade.html?rss=1 Fri, 3 Apr 2009 20:34 GMT since i've been doing the veggie diesel thing for almost 2 years now with a benz, my plans have changed for my bertone. free fuel is addictive. i was about half finished doing a converse conversion on my 81 bertone and i've decided to go veggie hotrod. i need a running d24t with manual tranny bellhousing and preferably the tranny too. i also need a 200 series diesel tank and accesories plus the engine wiring to firewall for the d24t.%0D%0A%0D%0Ai have a mustang 5.0 with t5 and engine computer that ran when i pulled it. the power steering pump is missing. i've got the 200 series converse kit, and poly motor mounts for the 5.0.%0D%0A%0D%0Alocation: san marcos, tx i would prefer to swap with someone in texas if possible.%0D%0A%0D%0Aanyone interested?%0D%0A--%0D%0Amy car: www.volvobertonesolutions.com http://www.brickboard.com/V8/volvo/1335066/converse_kit_saletrade.html?rss=1 Mon, 2 Mar 2009 19:51 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
