Made some progress after my vacation in the San Juan islands. Got the suspension all together with the diesel sway bar and got the engine bolted in!
I’m always surprised with the variances of these 240’s, some have tons of room for the turbo and some do not.. this one is on the tight side, but it fits. I was originally going to use a little larger turbo but I’m not going to cut into the frame rail for compressor clearance. The stock Garrett will provide all the boost this build needs anyway:-)

Could it have something to do with variances in the engine mounts or trans mounts?

Looks good! Got one of your 240 TD pans on this?

Any thought of using the M47 that's in the car, or are you going M46? I have been thinking about swapping M46 to M47 in my 764, seems like they hold up better than a lot of people give them credit for if the driver is reasonable and the clutch is not too aggressive. If you use the M47 I will be interested to hear what you think behind the D24T.

Well that’s usually the case, but this one is unusually closer with good mounts.

Yes, I’m using one of my custom pans on this, it’s the easiest way to turbo a 240!
I wouldn’t mind using an M47, but the one that came with the car popped out of third gear.. but I do have some other good m47’s.

Do you know if the input sleeve for the diesel is available?

I don't know, I'm not sure if it was ever sold as a separate part. I might have a parts book I can look in to try to find a part number, now I'm curious too.

I don't think it would be too difficult to pull one off of a diesel M46 with a decent puller though, that was what I was planning to do. Or probably could even get a few new ones machined.

More progress! I got the M46 transmission installed along with the driveshaft. Also got the steering rack boots changed on both sides and also installed a fresh timing belt, water pump and timing belt idler.
Tomorrow I hope to get the valves adjusted, all the hoses and radiator in, power steering hooked up, install the alternator, install the diesel specific overflow tank, and hopefully get the wiring sorted out, should be easy though, I don’t even need an ignition wire as this car is getting a manual fuel shutdown along with push button glow plugs.

Cooling system is complete! Got the valves adjusted too! I went ahead and got the valve cover stripped and painted the same color as the block, I really like how these D24T's look with the valve covers painted to match the block color.

It’s been awhile since I updated the thread... car is nearly finished! I fired I up today! Yay! Had some extra work that I really wasn’t expecting, I could not get the fuel system to work with the in-tank pump, I could not pull fuel through it for some reason. So I went to drop the tank to change the sender/fuel pickup to a diesel unit.. well one of the fuel lines on the underside was rusted out! I also broke the bolt for the filler neck clamp, the joys of a 30 year old car.. So I ended up replacing the fuel pickup and fuel lines from tank all the way to the injection pump with the diesel specific lines.

Sorry for this off-topic question Anders, in your case do you also need to change/swap the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster to make it work properly with the `new` diesel-specific sending unit that you just installed? Is the fuel gauge part in the cluster also diesel-specific, partly or in any way?

(I`m just trying to figure out what to do with my ``once gasser then td- swapped`` 745 car`s annoying fuel gauge. It doesnt work correctly, it actually works the opposite way: showing empty when full... and vice versa; or not showing anything at all, until either fully full or fully empty. )

I do have four full clusters from other 700 cars,
one of them is from a 146k 1987 780 gasser v6 Bertone, the other is from a 242k 740 gasser appr 1985-88, and I have a cluster from a factory TD 1985 740. ((And I have the cluster from the 442k TD which belongs to my daily car--I DONT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS THE CLUSTER FROM THE GASSER 1986 740 B230FT OR NOT. MAYBE IT IS FROM THE DONOR 85 TD CAR-- but I think I can see an orange wire that sits in the third spot of one electrical main joint which is glowplug related so I think the cluster is NOT from the donor td car and it simply got the glow feature created by v8.)

These 4 instr clusters look Very similar but have differences in wiring and solder connections are at various spots But the fuel gauge part looks identical in almost all of these clusters. I thought of swapping the fuel gauge part and see. But the secret may be in the fuel tank sender unit differences of a TD car versus a Gasser car?
Thank you for reading. tyt sending your ideas if too busy with the nice build. Sorry for the offtopic question again.

Update. Oh, I realized your build is not a 700 but a 200 car.
