Well it's time to start a new diesel project. I'm hoping to have it done in time for the Swedish car show in February. This car is currently powered or the lack of by a b21 and to make it even slower it has an automatic transmission.
Here it is:

Lovely! Can't wait to see it finished.

Amazing niceness.
(Were there Diesel 2-doors ever produced by Volvo btw?
And how about a Diesel Bertone? I think I`ve read about 6-door brick-limos with the diesel.)

It`s going to be a real interesting beauty! with a refreshed diesel... I love the car already. Emblem can stay, it doesn`t lie.

In keeping with this theme, how about a 142 with a D24? What a squeeze that would be.

I have only heard of one two door 240 diesel, I'm not sure if it was built by Volvo or an outside company. I believe it was a bertone with a turbo diesel.

I got the old cylinder head removed (it has a crack in the cam journal that I discovered when adjusting the valves). Installed some ARP head studs. Interestingly enough this d24t block was cast in 1992.. I believe it was imported by the green car company. Anyways here is a picture of the shortblock with geotze head gasket and studs.

Looks like a nice clean body.

Yes, correct. I found an article about it. http://www.volvoadventures.com/780spec1.html
Being factory intercooled, 2-door, stickshift, TD, bertone car...That is a rare car for sure.

Engine is nearly completely assembled, just need to install my modded 240 turbo diesel oil pan..

I did install one of my capped d24 intakes on it. The tapped hole in the back is for the boost gauge/ boost reference for the IP.

I have one of those intake manifolds that you sold me. I like it alot. Worked well with my holeset. I'm going to figure out intercooler plumbing over the winter.
