Default 1989 245 b230 to D24t build

I have started another build, but this one isn’t for me though, it’s for a forum member. The goal is to have a bone simple, reliable, fuel efficient and peppy diesel Volvo wagon. It will be getting a D24t with some modifications. Modifications will include head studs, tuned injection pump, increased boost, modified NA intake, better exhaust, etc. The transmission will be a stock m46.
I picked up the car from an auction house on the 3rd of July. It was a bit of a challenge to get onto my trailer as the car was extremely low, riding on Bump stops low! But my son and I managed to get it on :-)

Also got the rear springs swapped out for some overload springs, look at the difference in length, overloads are on top and bottom, the ones I pulled out are in center. Now I just have to do the more time consuming front springs next.

Started to change the front suspension, removing the diesel specific springs and sway bar from donor front end.

That is a huge difference in spring length! I don't recall that much difference from when I put the ipd overloads into my 745.

That's gonna be a nice 245. I like them in white. A very forgiving color and makes these look bigger in size and 'younger'. Will the 700 series original unmodified d24t crossmember bolt right into the 245 chassis, with the turbo motor on top? Or did you have to source a nonturbo d24 crossmember for this swap?

The nice thing about the 240’s is the engine crossmember for the gas and diesel are the same :-).
I do need to use a modified d24 oil pan when going with a d24t or d24+t. The oil sump on the 240 is narrower and wider then the 740 sump, so using the 740 pan is a no-go unless modifying the crossmember and building engine mounts since the 740 engines are more vertical while the 240’s slant over to the starboard side.

I made a little bit of progress yesterday, I didn’t get anything done on Tuesday and not as much as I wanted on Wednesday because I was exhausted from the heat on Monday and I think the paint fumes got to me :-(

I got the engine painted ford blue on Monday night, and I started re-assembling it on Wednesday. The engine is one of my previous engine builds, bored over with KS pistons, cylinder head rebuilt by Aluminum Head Rebuilders in Oregon, ARP headstuds, and all new bearings. It runs nice!

The blue really “pops” I’m thinking it would look really good with the valve cover painted to match the block, maybe the timing cover too. Lately I have been painting the blocks to match the cars there going in, not my standard Detroit green. I went with blue because the wagon has blue interior.

Default blue, black

"The nice thing about the 240’s is the engine crossmember for the gas and diesel are the same"

Awesome.


Also,
that blue paint looks Really good, motor looks like you dipped it into thick industrial shipyard enamel.... I think it would be a huge match with exh manifold in black; belt covers in either same blue but maybe also in glossy black, valve cover also black but maybe not super glossy but flaky/bumby textured and flat like a HD flatbed paint but high heat version (sprinkled effect).
A black manifold would worth it too, I`m so glad I went with spending time on that for my d24t. The highest heat VHT 2000F paint is not super glossy black at all but it is black (not greyish black)... not glossy but it stands out perfectly near the semigloss real black on the shields.

Your motor would look like a marine engine in action, sprinkled with water

And, especially, with freshened up internals. And it is a standard shifter. And in a wagon. Awesome. Such a great build already. Can`t wait to see it run.
