Thank you for the compliments. I`ll try fitting the nonturbo hard lines for you to see, next time when I`m near the IP.
I think my IP brackets are as high as I could fit them smartly (it could go higher (by the slots) but then the top of big bracket would interfere with the seating of an injector tool. I believe my pump is tilted out as much as possibly it could be in my case, without creating a problematic future injector service (which I had a couple of times, sometimes as a trip roadside ordeal).
Today,
there was a heavy thunderstorm in my area so I didn`t have the progress I expected
but by the evening I had the 740Td
Nissens radiator thoroughly flushed inside and well-rinsed on the outside too.
I also used a special, industrial
coil cleaner to have it immaculately and chemically clean outside. All fins look amazingly clean and even `newer` than it actually is which is very new I think BTW. The coil cleaner is super strong and one cant leave it on longer than 5mins or it will eat at the metal (I think). It foams up then you rinse it for long time with garden hose. Ideally, from the rear towards the front side of the car. Reversed direction of how dirt went in, right?
Liquid is 1 part cleaner and 3 parts water so only 1/4 (=25%) is product, the rest is tap water. Have it pre-mixed in spray bottle. Protect your skin, eyes, keep pets and kids away and avoid getting it on plants/grass
I discovered the label on the radiator, showing a sticker with the part number on it; they fitted it at the factory.
There was nothing scary coming out so I think it can be considered literally new. Good deal! The Auto tranny line fittings should get closed/capped off. Would it work as engine oil cooler
))?
QUESTION:
Anyone using this AUTOMATIC NISSENS rad in their manual* d24t cars btw? Looks like I could fit this into my d24t m46 car. Not sure.
Maybe by modding hoses and chopping some of them up and changing curves of the elephant tusk length ultrathick d24t lower hose (if necessary but i doubt).
IDK. Looks like a perfect fit. To be continued later...
I
swapped the nonturbo d24 upper&lower hoses to the d24t upper&lower hoses and currently building a bracket/frame system that will hold the radiator in a comfy position and leave space for the fan rotor etc. I also want it to be able to roll with the engine stand but still be easily removable.
I managed to find some spares of the
T joints you mentioned in your post and compared some turbo-nonturbo versions. I should have built my d24t cooling system with the valve version so thanks I`ll swap that center piece out to have the valve `as an extra convenience`.
I took some picts of the
nonturbo-turbo fans too. The red one is a d24 nonturbo rotor by volvo and the white one is an aisin rotor for the d24t volvo car. The d24t version has 7blades and is about an inch larger in diameter.
I have no idea which moves more air but I`ll put my votes on the white d24t rotor. But idk bc red one has larger blade surfaces. I dont actually care
I also wrote down part #s from all the volvo cooling hoses and I`ll add them to my previous post for others to have, in case they want (or can find) oem hoses.
Found two souvenirs from the donor car:
An item my d24t wagon needed: left side rear mud flap.
And I found the fuel tank lid which shows how amazing this metallic dark brown was.
It must have been a gorgeous looking td sedan, especially waxed and under sunshine.
It was a nice car, may it Rest In Piece! 
The savable parts and the engine, transmission, driveshaft, axle&differential, front suspension, crossmember etc are in good hands (all of engine accessories removed and cleaned, adjusted, set, cleaned up... the car would be happy to see this progress... and its
heart lives on (beating strong and healthy):

It smokes ONLY because it is cold AND I was using automatic tranny fluid as fuel (to clean up the pump and injectors).
