Any knowledgeable volvo enthusiasts.?.?

HAHA. My fam. had the same one. Stick shift 245 "safety" orange 4 door. I rolled it. Safe my A$$.

Auto. Brown vinyl interior. Why I let them sell it when I was 13 instead of parking it in the barn for three years I'll never understand.

1992-2002 cummins motors are my general expertise as well. Is this a TN thing? i have a 1993 dodge 250 with 661,000 miles on it but looks like it has 6 million miles and been dropped from a helicopter. Runs like a champ, looks like shit! I had a 240, 10 years ago with a 5.0 ford motor in it..

Love our Volvo, but it looks like I'll be visiting TN when I find a clean Land Cruiser FJ60 ready for a Cummins B3 transplant!

Got an FJ62 that I'm getting ready to pass on - after 11 years with it I will be loosing my left arm...

[Jason Musgrave]

My FJ-62 = best vehicle I've ever owned. It has NEVER let me down. Oh the memories...I brought my wife, and both of my kids home in it.

I tried to sell it last fall - decided after the first person came out to look at it that I wasn't ready to let go yet.

Nooooooooooooooooooo, that is such a nice vehicle.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread with mention of my FJ60 dream diesel.

Let's go back to Volvos . . . mudding with the diesel XC70 D5!

[Too Tall]

Bill where the heck do you get that!!! XC70 D5, sweet baby jebus. I've been holding out for these to finally get imported. Our XC is going strong but we really want a stick and better mileage.

I have a wagon that can take an LS1 just fine. It is not a Volvo.

Ping Zimmerman about Volvos. He has a nice one in the pipe.

my 850 turbo wagon was as new as I got with Volvo the current one is a '73 1800ES sooo I'm a bit out of the loop on the new stuff.

I think the Volvo motors are pretty good, not sure why you'd need a GM motor... the Noble M600 is using a tweaked Volvo V8 from an XC90 generating 650 brake horsepower. Now if one of you guys wants to figure out how to stuff that under the hood of my C30 I'll pay you for it. I don't know how the transmission will hold up but I think it'll be fun for at least a little while.

I'm feeling this (as seen this weekend at Gatebil Norway):

[Jason Musgrave]

not sure how much 'volvo' is left in this one... I must witness this madness that is gatebil someday!

Good God man, your vehicular tastes are after mine own heart. I'm all about the FJ62/65 - EXCEPT for the fuel economy. Diesel swap and it'd be pretty much my dream vehicle. I'd trade the 245 for one in a heartbeat, she don't do so well when it comes to fulfilling my offseason dreams of vanishing in the Maze for a month.

shout out for my bricks past and present!
