I'm breaking a Volvo 940 Turbo model, I believe you guys put the engines in 300s so thought it was worth a post here.
B230FT engine, was running the stock 8psi. Slight tapping from top end, think the valve clearances need doing. Recent new clutch but this was potentially damaged during recent gearbox trouble (implosion). 180k-ish
Can be seen running for a short period. If there is interest I will take a deposit and remove it ready for collection.
Can come with manifolds, turbo, water pipes and any specified wiring if required.
Engine/car is based in Nottingham, East Mids
£100

Be quiet you're ruining my for sellings thread.
By the way the rest of the 940 is available if anything else is required.

Id love to, but its a long term plan. I have no engine crane or workshop but im sure i could pull some strings

Can you just use the mainfold and turbo from these on a b200e?

Buy it and find out!

Be a shame to weigh a working engine in but that's the way it's going

Fair logic! I think i get a bit carried away, I need to wait till I have more tools and a better set-up. I get all carried away about making coilovers then very quickly realised i couldnt afford to do what i wanted
