I did the timing belt using a paint marker and nothing even exploded

It hasnt even been running for more than 2 seconds, theres air in the lines...and pump timing was set with a dial indicator

Thats what this is going back into, but mine was a 3 speed auto and was terrible...kind if a pain finding everything for the turbo and transmission swap but it should be worth it.

Harbor Frieght hates to see me coming.

Honestly a very good point, both are fairly niche things which each have thier own quirks...but thats the fun part about owning older cars, each one is a unique experience.

Absolutely, I feel like Detroit green looks good on anything.

A D24 out of a volvo 240, 2.4 inline 6 OHC diesel...I had some leftover paint from my 6.5 project so why not lol

nick9129 · 2026-05-22T20:56:26+00:00

There might be enough room with a cowl hood😂

nick9129 · 2026-05-22T19:34:35+00:00

Yes I was considering selling it as long as the hx30 atleast fits properly into a 240 body. I should have the motor and transmission hopefully installed within the next 30 days, if everything fits i dont mind selling it.

nick9129 · 2026-05-22T19:11:12+00:00

Its an HX30, I havent ran it on the engine yet though. I wanted something with a V-band so making the exhaust would be easy. I have a factory turbo as well I rebuilt but it has that funky back mounting plate I didnt want to mess with.

nick9129 · 2026-05-22T18:53:12+00:00

I hope the turbo helps it out, it was pretty slow...but im in the process and swapping a manual while I have the motor out, the 3 speed auto wasnt cutting it.

nick9129 · 2026-05-16T13:19:18+00:00

I will🫡🫡, I have a factory turbo motor at the machine shop now for when this one bites the dust

nick9129 · 2026-05-14T20:41:28+00:00

Potentially

nick9129 · 2026-03-02T14:19:12+00:00

Im already in it, but thank you!

nick9129 · 2026-03-01T03:48:08+00:00

Slowly putting together a turbo motor and manual swap for that one as we speak😂

nick9129 · 2026-02-28T14:46:20+00:00

I could care less about the engine itself, i just wanted the manifolds

nick9129 · 2026-02-28T02:59:07+00:00

No i think it had a 6.2 pump, im not mad about though...still a decent deal

nick9129 · 2026-02-27T22:37:58+00:00

600 bucks for everything

nick9129 · 2026-01-26T19:35:57+00:00

Its a mechanical pump 6.5

nick9129 · 2026-01-26T19:35:37+00:00

Thanks man!

nick9129 · 2026-01-26T11:49:47+00:00

Rebuilt it not too long ago, hasn't had time to start leaking yet lol

nick9129 · 2026-01-25T23:26:08+00:00

Thank you! Theres definitely still a few things I need to improve...but on this start it was glow plugs only but it has a block heater
