- VU SS UTE / 5 Litre Volvo /Trusty Swift
For whats it worth I might let you all know what I'm doing..
I now have a fully engineered 1985 Volvo 240 with a 253 trimatic ..
Its getting a transplant with the donor being a VP Berlina.
Had the motor all rebuilt with a 308 crank with some mild head work and a small cam..
Had I know what it would of cost to rebuild the Box, Converter and Motor I would of ripped out the 5.7 from my SS VU replaced it with a 6 Litre and used the 5.7 for the Volvo.. Anyway to late now might as well just keep it going..
Just my 2 cents worth might get strips ripped off me for the Volvo but it was the right price..And it makes the DOOF DOOF boys jaws drop when they get shat on at the lights...
