Installing Giffin's Weld on Ford 8.8 Kit For Volvo 240 Swap | Vortec 4200

[@sanger440]

Excellent, doing the same kit on my son’s 86 Volvo station wagon. Found an already narrowed Explorer rear end locally and just need to do the brackets.

You sound like Red Green! Miss that guy.

Hi there love your work , im also building a 240 1987 for me and my kids. I see you narrowed the rear diff or was it allready narrowed?

[@aaronhunter2499]

I was wondering what happened to a21, I myself went from bass to speed. Having a walled blazer (last bass ride) to a foxbody.

Nice!

[@95poo40sx]

Could of done the ford 9" ends, i think that eliminates the c clips right? What filler rod did you use for welding the axle tubes to the housing?

[@BlaserBuilds]

Correct. My buddy Brian with the volvo(who I bought this wagon from) did 9" ends on his.

[@95poo40sx]

@BlaserBuilds what filler rod did you end up using for welding the axle tubes to the housing? It looks like it went smooth and I'm about to weld mine

The 8.8's are a really stout piece.

[@601Volvo]

Keep that Volvo hard brake line and use it on the 8.8 rear.

Don't feel bad, EVERYONE calls him Griffin. He's too nice to correct people. I've probably corrected 5 people on the forums. Haha

[@BlaserBuilds]

Happy to be corrected, don't like mispronouncing names. Thanks.

[@601Volvo]

What's bad is that they're us a Griffin's too, allot of people use their radiators.

[@jayinmi3706]

Surprised the factory Volvo rear end had disc brakes.

[@andrewhans]

Definitely shouldn't be. Volvo history has always been really forward thinking with safety.

[@BlaserBuilds]

It's real nice under there. Even the brake line fittings came clean off. 41 year old car.
