Best bet on the tranny is to find a donor car, grab the transmission, crossmember, driveshaft (make sure the flanges on new box are same size), wiring, switch, relay...

Pretty straight forward if you've got ALL of them parts.

There's lots on the subject in the archives...

240 winshields will fit. the 91+ are the best, but the clips would have to be removed and there would be no crome trim . they are more aerodynamic. but if you were into aerodynamics i guess you wouldn't be driving a volvo.
you can not just easly swap a OD onto a m40. the main shaft is diferent
best of luck

yes, its possible, but not advisable. The output shafts are of different length and heavy modification is needed. You'll probably need a lot of parts from the M-41 anyway, so might as well do a complete swap. About the windshield, I've got one from a 83 244 on my 74 144, but I reused the trim from my 144. The glass is the same shape and almost the same thickness. Not sure about the trim and moulding.

and the bricks keep on rolling....

I'm not sure about the year but I have heard about windshields from the 240 swapping into the 140, I've seen pictures of a couple 140s that had this done as well. As far as the tranny goes you'd need the front half of the driveshaft, the crossmember, OD unit of course, and it looked as though there was some housing that connects the OD to the transmission. Of course I might just be talking out of my ass. But I'm sure someone more knowledgable will make a post soon =)
