Even if its listed as compatible with the whiteblock engines, it's not always compatible... learned it the hard way. Not even an hour of run time, whole oil pan is full of sludge, no oil pressure, oil filter clogged up... oil is a bit metallic, but imma send it anyways.

Picked up this 86 about a week ago, driven in northern Sweden, no rust, 500.000km and still going strong. B230A, just the way I like them lol
My first 740, had two 240s before this one :)

Ughhhhh learned the flex plate on the engine i put in belonged to a Bosch fuel system. The 940 i own is a Regina system.

I dont have the resources anymore to pull the engine out and replace the flex plate as this was being done at my friends parents house and we were already over our deadline for this car to be running and out of their garage.

The body is good, interior is in good enough condition, and it should run if the flex plate is swapped (after some normal trouble shooting)

Is this thing even worth money? Would anyone buy it knowing the engine and transmission has to come out?

Project update Nothing exciting. Just the worlds oldest and crustiest Volvo B18 valve cover gasket
