Hi wagoncody,

You may want to ask this both the V8 (click V8, above) and the RWD forum.

Also, on face-space-book you have three groups:

V8 Volvo Club
https://www.facebook.com/groups/217023333172/

Volvo 240 Fan Club
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Volvo240Club/

Volvo 240 Cars and Parts For Sale & Wanted
https://www.facebook.com/groups/676640922453172/

Next, on ePray, we have:

25mm VOLVO 240 1975-1993 Front sway V8 DROP BAR style 242 244 turbo ipd gt

http://www.ebay.com/itm/25mm-VOLVO-240-1975-1993-Front-sway-V8-DROP-BAR-style-242-244-turbo-ipd-gt-/142177139409

(It is the STS Machining Bar you see here:

25mm 240 1975-1993 Front drop v8 sway bar
https://www.stsmachininginc.com/products/25mm-240-1975-1993-front-drop-v8-sway-bar

A dated Turbobricks thread. (May want to check with Turbobricks and ask there, also.)

and

iPd made a Volvo 240 sway bar set as a 25/25mm V6/V8/diesel version.

Some may call it a stabilizer or an anti-roll bar (as anti roll, or antiroll).


You can ask at: http://www.r-sportinternational.com/

Though R-Sport does not sell such a drop bar in their store. One of them may have one to sell?

Same with Kaplhenke? The Kaplhenke 240 camber strut plates are are the only two available worth a darn. OEM strut mounts are utter junk. As is after market.

https://www.kaplhenke.com/

I searched the "craigslist.org" domain for U.S. based craigslist sales for such. All were salavage yard pulls of Turbo bars or a few iPd offerings that are not drop bars like this:

Else, try asking in the other forums. The V8 forum here may be best? And check Turbobricks.

Hope that helps you.

Questions?

Thank you.

Mac Duffed.

Glad to help you.

Though the other places like V8 above and maybe the Volvo V8 club and such I mention earlier can help. Also, Turbobricks can help you also with your swap.

You could also detail your swap in the same places so other can learning from your experience.

Did you see Mr. Yount's post about representin' in the V8 section.

Success with the V8 swap-in. Hope all's aces!
