    Ford T5 from 4 cyl foxbody?

    There is 93 fox 4cyl / 5 spd near me I could purchase for close to scrap value. Is that trans usable in a 240 with 3.73 rear? I seem to remember something about ratios being less than ideal and pilot bearing something something but I can't find the thread now. thanks for any insight

    240 power steering shimmy shimmy shake

    1987 245 TRW rack I believe (logo on the tie-rod boots) Turning the wheel to the right introduces some pulsing vibrations, it's not as pronounced (but still feels weird) when turning to the left. I just finished up some work unrelated to the steering, but I had removed the high pressure hose...

    eFan from 940 for installation in 240

    A 1994 940 just turned up at my jy. Dumb question- what all do you need to grab to put the efan in an 87 240? Just the shroud, fan, and relays? Do you still use the 240 rad? Thanks, I've never done this before (obviously).

    Rounded driveshaft bolt

    While removing the driveshaft yesterday, I managed to round off one of the 4 bolts and even its nut. If you have removed these before then you know they are in a place you can only get on them with an open ended or crow's foot wrench, there is not enough room for a standard socket on either...

    Let my oilpan go

    I have raised the engine as far as possible (out of clearance at the firewall). I have lowered the subframe as far as possible without dropping it completely. I removed the power steering lines from the rack. I removed all the pan bolts and have rotated it 90 degrees to the driver's side. It...

    Oil Pressure Sender... upgrade?

    87 NA 240 I got started changing engine mounts today and I saw a black wire with a female bullet connector near the alternator that wasn't connected to anything. Then I noticed a banged up looking sensor next to the oil filter. So I take it that's the oil pressure sender, and it makes me...

    Noob exhaust question

    This is the complete exhaust from an 86 245. I thought it was strange that the manifold did not have an O2 sensor, there was a bung further down. Anyway, so where is the cat? Am I missing something or was it removed? From what info I could find, I think it should be here, no? It's...

    Wagon 15" Virgo Tire size opinions

    Sorry if this subject has been beaten to death already. From the owners manual, it looks like an 87 245 should have came on 185 / 75 / r14's that are 24.9" tall. I have a set of Virgos that need tires. The closest 15" tires in height would be 195 / 65 / r15 @25" and 205 / 60 / r15...

    Editing thread titles

    I cannot seem to figure out how to edit the titles of threads I've started, for example a for sale thread that started as one item and now I want to add more. I am not a smart man.

    Single fuel pump recommendations B230F

    The car is an 87 245 that I've owned for 2 years. About a year ago, while diagnosing a fuel problem (hard starts, stumbles) I found the inline pressure pump dead. I thought it pretty strange that the car would run at all so I removed the sender and saw that the VDO pump had been replaced with a...

    Ghetto fabulous junkyard e-code installation Volvo 240

    So one of the few times I have been fortunate in a junkyard, I find this generous donor: An improvement definitely, but on closer inspection, what a piece of **** these things are! The glass lenses are labeled DJ AUTO. One of the reflector mounts that connects to the up/down adjuster was...

    Budget 240 stereo install: bt deck and 2 speakers >$200

    So I have owned an 87 245 for almost 2 years with no radio. I had been collecting some things to start off with and now it's time to get dirty. I had been hoping to find another driver's door card without water damage first, but it hasn't happened so love the one you're with. I wanted bluetooth...

    240 240 Lighting questions

    Are the "rear fog lights" in my 1987 245 supposed to be just a single lamp on the driver's side, or both sides topmost lamps? I was under the impression it was just the one lamp, but when I replaced the fusebox yesterday and they worked for the first time, it lit both lamps. Trying to determine...
