A Cummins swap into a lifted AWD 240 would be fun.

You could probably fit a 3-71 in a 240. I'd love to see a 6v92 tt setup in one.

TDI is childs play compared to these solid truck engines.

Please swap big rig engine

Maybe? I have seen a 4-71 or 4-53 in a square body Chevy.

Maybe the fact that not everyone who likes Volvos is a fan of redblock engines.

Can you fool Redblock Jesus by painting the TDI iron block red?

I seem to have had better luck with older turbo diesel VWs than with redblocks. 1.6L NA diesel with volvo t3 cranked to 25psi was awesome.

Is a B20 a Redblock?

Is a B20 a Redblock?

It's like the holy trinity. B18/20 is the father, B21/23/230 is the son, and the B234 is the holy spirit.

Has anyone tried to build a diesel redblock? crank up the compression,?

 

[JohnMc]

Heron head and flat top pistons, compression would be *ahem* more than high enough.

might fool him with an International Harvester 345, but only because the IH345 has the same 108hp a b230 has

Diesel clatter is easily explained away as piston slap.

Diesel clatter is easily explained away as piston slap.

When I was driving my 244 (unknown mileage but slapped like hell), I had a lot of folks at gas stations ask if it was a diesel. I really didn't notice from inside the car, but if I was ever warming it up in the morning before work, the clatter was noticeably diesel-like.

And I used to own an actual diesel Volvo.

I had a car with a cracked camshaft. Right between 2 lobes but since it was interlocked it kept working. Made fun diesel noises too

You don't remember this?

I remember. I wonder if it's still running.
