Volvo 240 5.3 swap
Starting on my swap
5.3&4l60 from a 05 express
It came with everything
Got all accessories and intake off and it needs to be cleaned
This is about where I am now motors in a parts car the trans is bolted in to original modifed crossmember
I know it looks crooked it's sitting on wood
Waiting now for motor mounts to arrive so I can start on brackets
Also need new exhaust manifolds these won't work at all
Since this is super budget swap I'm sticking with truck oilpan and intake the pan will need to be shortened as it hangs down to low but without mounts made I'm not worried about pan
The intake tho is pretty gross
My hood clearance is tight so.. Off with all the ****
glued an old bumper cover on top
Relocated pcv&map
It will just fit under the hood

Why am I not surprised to see these popping up more and more... Oh yeah, its because they are such a fun and easy swap.
Looks good so far. Would be fun someday to see a few of our ls swapped cars together.
