Well that's not close by. I live 20 miles from the TN state line with NC (not far from Bristol) and I know where there is a complete 740 diesel sitting in a field.

You may want to check in with Verdigo as it seems he is Clarksville also.

I was thinking on swapping a D24T into a S10, the biggest thing holding me back from doing it is the length of the top of the engine. Since the D24T has the rear injection belt it adds clearance issues up top. I'm going to swap in a Isuzu 4BD1t instead ( 3.9L 4 cyl. direct injected turbo with replaceable cylinder liners!) It is a shorter engine with lots of low end grunt.
How much room do you have for the oil sump? The d24 and D24T's both have weird oil pans.

The 4bd1t was my first choice but I dont have the money to use adapters right now! I started a thread on them on land rovers only. Hoe much is that Volvo in a field may be worth the drive! Also have to know if it's the automatic as I need the bellhousing! Thanks for all the help guys!

I dont know how much the guy wants for the 740D in the field. Its a guy in his 70's that was really difficult to talk to as I think he may have Altzeimers now. I hesitate to go to talk to him. If you are really serious I will give you his phone number. I'm assuming he is still circulating but I'm not sure. He has 30 Volvo's in that field and only 1 is a diesel. Its a sedan and most likely automatic. I have a bell housing off a Volvo D24T ZF transmission in my garage along with a bunch of other tranny parts, torque converter etc. as I have rebuilt the ZF 4HP22 in my D24T converted 92 wagon. I also have a complete ZF tranny in good order from an 86 740 and also a good ZF tranny from a 99 SD Disco D1 with 104k miles that I took out to swap in a 300tdi with R360 5 sp. I even have a good transfer case that will fit either of the Disco D1 transmissions.
Incidentally its probably necessary to swap the valve block and governor from ZF to ZF, not just the bellhousing. The revs and torque curve of the V8 vs D24T are quite different.

Awesome news! How much would you want for a complete Volvo trans (or just the parts I need) and the bellhousing and torque converter? That would allow me then just to find the motor! Thanks again that's some great info!

Even if I have to cut into the firewall for the belt to allow me to change it, its going in! Just something cool about a straight six diesel! I know you guys agree with that one plus I want a higher revving engine for the highway! I think it's going to be great! Now just got to get ahold of the guy selling the motor and trans in Nashville on this board!

Well I finally looked under the hood today. Just to confirm dimensions, I measured 26 1/2" from the bellhousing bolt-up surface to the extreme front of crankshaft pulley. It should be mentioned that to that dimension you should add the radiator fan and clutch. Also, the injector belt drive and cover project back over the top of the bell housing ~ 2 1/2 inches. You will need some space between the firewall and the belt drive also as other wise you will have to remove the engine or something extreme, just to set the pump timing.....
