ok, so i have an 88' 240 DL (5spd) and i would like to put a more powerful motor in it. I've been told to pu t everythign form a mustange 5.0 to a chavy small block. but i would like to stay with the volvo reliability and maybe get a newer maybe turbo engine, rebuild it and put it in. What motor would be best for that? whats your suggestions? i dont know how much more power one has over the other or what. i know someone who took a 82' turbo 240 (4spd w/OD) and put a (i think) 740 turbo engine in it. i'd jus like to know whats more powerful that what and what you think. thanks for all the help. i greatly appreciate it.
