Looks nice man. When are you planning to complete your
engine swap? Maybe adding IC too, atleast you have N/A manifold there.

I want to do the swap as soon as I can. I still need to figure out the oil return location on the D24 oil pan. V8volvo said he is actually doing the same swap at work so I very curious how they do it. Im still need to do the water pump, timing belt and IP belt. After that the D24 in the 264 is coming out and putting the D24T in with the M46. I'm planing on IC it, I want to keep this swap very simple so I can be on the road again because this is my daily driver. After that I want to make my own stainless steel headers and bigger turbo

Stainless steel headers? Aren't you the ambitious one!

Oh yeah, I was going to take a picture of the setup we have for you. It runs back from the turbo then enters the sump at the flat horizontal spot on the right side of the motor, with the tube running in such a way that you cannot use a Bosch starter -- only the Hitachi unit will fit on this engine. The engine is all set up to bolt into the shop owner's cherry '84 240 diesel sedan with a tired D24, but we haven't had time to drop it in yet.

Just started back on this project a mounth ago. Need to finish this before the 17th of December. The motor is in with 240 oil pan with a welded bung for the drip line. Using stock 240 diesel motor mounts. Sits in the engine bay just as like a N/A would. The stock turbo clears the frame rail within an inch.
Replaced all the brakes. center driveline support and will be using turbo 240 exhaust.

will have pictures soon of my progress

I used freeze plugs to plug the rear water port on the d24t head since I won't be using the vw oil cooler. Also plug the 240 dipstick with a freeze plug since will be using the d24t dipstick location.

Can you take pictures of your oil pan modification? I plan to do the same with my swap eventually. Sounds like you're making some good progress!

Edit: Also, will the dipstick reading from the stock D24T location still be accurate with the 240's engine position? If you could, please post pics of how you plugged the head and dipstick. Thanks!
