Default 1989 245 b230 to D24t build

I have started another build, but this one isn’t for me though, it’s for a forum member. The goal is to have a bone simple, reliable, fuel efficient and peppy diesel Volvo wagon. It will be getting a D24t with some modifications. Modifications will include head studs, tuned injection pump, increased boost, modified NA intake, better exhaust, etc. The transmission will be a stock m46.
I picked up the car from an auction house on the 3rd of July. It was a bit of a challenge to get onto my trailer as the car was extremely low, riding on Bump stops low! But my son and I managed to get it on :-)

Also got the rear springs swapped out for some overload springs, look at the difference in length, overloads are on top and bottom, the ones I pulled out are in center. Now I just have to do the more time consuming front springs next.

Started to change the front suspension, removing the diesel specific springs and sway bar from donor front end.

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?

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