... I'm not sure how things are where you're located, but in Vic, and I believe most other states, you won't be able to put a carby V8, or indeed any earlier...
What a pity the 2.8 suffered this fate. If you want a 6 cyl engine then the 960 with a straight 6 is highly recommended, all alloy, rear wheel drive. The...
But that's no fun compared to doing up the b280. And he has a 760 to start with. The IRS diff is known to handle worked turbo motor's, for suspension upgrades,...
Fun? Ok, you have a twisted idea of fun :) I'm the poor sod..er.. lucky soul who'll be doing the rebuild, having done my own B28f a few years ago with no real...
All Ages ago Steve Abbott and others supplied info on poly mounts. Below is updated & summarised info from Kelpro catalouges, luckily they still had the old...
I found this kind of mount just separates from the plate. At least when used as a gearbox mount in a 140 it didnt last more than 10,000km. I also had one in as...
Just measured a new Meyle (German) rh mount at 46mm thick. Dia is 75mm though, not 70mm (?). LH mount measured the same dimensions as you posted. Cheers Steve...
Ovlov Thanks for the feedback, the bonding strength of metal discs to plastic would be less than a proper vulcanised rubber made by Volvo. The genuine parts do...
I’m not sure why people would want to do this. Urethane bonded to a metal plate, is no way near as successful as rubber and they will separate FAR sooner...
Another one to say that urethane engine mounts are a world of fail, despite the apparent benefits. I've put chains on cheapy after-market 240 mounts, and been...
"Another one to say that urethane engine mounts are a world of fail, despite the apparent benefits." I'll second that. Tried them in the rear of a 140 and a...
Thanks Nathan for the innovative pics. Interesting you say you didn't have much luck with the 164 engine mounts. For the readers, I recommend the 164 mount for...
"For the readers, I recommend the 164 mount for use in a 240 as a rear transmission mount..." I'll second that too. Both our GT's have 164 mounts for the...
Actually i used a 6 cylinder contina mount to lower one side of 140 my engine so the other (with extractors that were hitting stuff)would lift a little. Was a...
I've actually had overwhelemingly good experiences with urethane bushes in suspension parts - where the urethane is not placed in tension. Â They don't work...
Have tried Polyurethane mounts but after some normal street driving and some pratice launches the drivers side engine mount failed completley, the passenger...
... John has a red one, supposedly built by Volvo Australia as a prototype, in around 1971-1972, it was the only one I knew of in Australia until now. In later...
Autocare (now TDG Autocare) did storage, pre-deliveries, made special models, did some of the damage in transit repairs, etc They built one-offs and some other...
John's wagon is an earlier one and says automatic on the rear, unsure if it actually is, as I didn't get over to that part of the workshop last time I was...
This car was built by Carlise Motors near Kogarah in Sydney by a father and son team. They also did a Volvo ute. I was President of the club in NSW at the...
I have some recollection that john johnson has a 165 manual which was built by Volvo as a test/prototype when they had assembly in Melbourne. Ralph Price...
Thanks Grahame for that clarification. How is your 760 estate going? Best Regards, Shane Bentley Grahame Hunt wrote: This car was built by Carlise Motors near...
So I rang Aaron yesterday, about the maroon 165. He seemed a bit short on details, but did say his father and uncle buit the car at Carlise Motors, some time...
Ralph etc, Trying to finish the GT off for rego after a long build up, and so decided to do the job in about a month not right now. This was the best advice on...
Hey all have been in sunny Queensland for a fortnight. Cheers for posts. The b280 is coming out shortly and coming apart to see what damage lurks. Unless it...
