Volvo 240 T5 swap Pt 1 - Out with the old!

[@alexnaranjo3299]

A clean bell housing is a happy bell housing. Should’ve cleaned it while you had it apart

[@new_spin]

Haha, trust me it wouldn't have lasted long xD There were a couple good sized leaks from that engine... Hopefully the new owner is able to address them

[@CaptainBreny]

Thought this was a engine swap to a Volvo T5 :P

[@loganbjork104]

same

[@stuartsimpson9194]

Me too

[@0hjaa3.06]

US always dissapoints with it's cat fishing video titles

[@moulmour]

Thanks mate& happy new year! i need to do same work on my volvo 740.

[@Ricopolico]

Being able to install the bellhousing without the X-mission attached, in and of itself makes this modification worth it.

[@koamarco2366]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@solomonbeau9637]

@Koa Marco instablaster :)

[@koamarco2366]

@Solomon Beau Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@koamarco2366]

@Solomon Beau it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@solomonbeau9637]

@Koa Marco glad I could help :D

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Thank you I'm looking to buy a 122s wagon 67 like the look of. Wagon might put a later Volvo engine

[@emptycola99]

Found this now, great series. Im currently building a B5234T in my Volvo 242 -75

[@new_spin]

Nija oh nice! Unfortunately I just sold this car :(

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

How's it going, do you have instagram so I can follow the build?

[@emptycola99]

We (our garage) are Team PSR @facebook. We havent made any update in a while but ive got a lot of pictures if you want :D

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

mhm, dont really like facebook. too bad you dont have instagram. will have a look

[@emptycola99]

I have instagram but i rarely update it. Add me on facebook if you want more pictures. Ive got pictures on pretty much everything.

[@JesseWright68]

Elring rear main seal. Notice it's leaking like they all do.

[@new_spin]

Yeah I replaced it haha

[@Ricopolico]

Used to use Elring rear main seals. They were made in Germany, were a lot cheaper than OE Volvo and they worked. Then, FCP sent me one made in PRC. Dumbass that I am, I had to call to find out where PRC (Peoples Republic of China) is. I saw where this was headed so I bought a bunch of Blue Box seals from TASCA.

[@traintalkers]

Looks nice! eventually I wanna drop one of these in a 940 then mate it to a whiteblock

[@eppeep42]

The Speed-up part was nice, i laso liked the music alot. ;) Great Video! Also got better with he Ums! :)

[@new_spin]

Errol Pauli Thanks! Yeah the ums probably piss me off more than anyone xP It's a mental thing haha, I'm working on it.

[@gijoe2308]

Subscribed!!! Great video man keep em coming!!

[@new_spin]

gijoe2308 thanks! I've been super busy with the holidays and stuff but I've got some good stuff coming real soon!

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Great video I wer do you buy the Conversion kit I have the transmission please.

[@new_spin]

Yoshifab.com give Josh a call he'll set you up nice!

[@michaelhendershot6311]

Can you send me a complete list of parts that you ordered I am going to be installing one in the same type of vehicle

[@JoseCabrera-ie7yp]

Did you use the Yoshifab drive shaft adapter for the conversion?

[@new_spin]

Watch pt 2 😉

[@TooFlyNico]

How much did this all cost ya? Lookin to do a build like this and I’m so wondering how much it’s gonna be.

[@new_spin]

Honestly it's been a few years and I kinda forgot haha I wanna say like ~$3000? That's turn-key, and I opted for midrange clutch setup vs the base option one. I also did all the work myself of course I got the trans and driveshaft from a guy locally at a good price too

[@dom3489]

I'm trying to put a t5 in a foxbody mustang

[@hezekiah5537]

can this be done any cheaper. im sure it can but i need help.

[@new_spin]

Kinda depends, I got my trans and driveshaft for a pretty good deal already. But some of the other parts like the actual adapter are harder to get any cheaper. I'm sure you can spec a more basic clutch though for sure, I went for the sportier option.

[@hezekiah5537]

@@new_spin thanks for the response my m47 recently gave out and im looking to switch to th t5. Any good advice for doing so?

[@willriley1619]

Nice content. I'm planning on doing this soon but probably with an Automatic.

[@new_spin]

Will Riley thanks! yeah I'm lucky I found a manual car as a base. Otherwise I'd have to source pedals and bellhousing and eveything else

[@alanstrain801]

Please keep us updated, I would like to do that also.

[@michaelhendershot6311]

And any website names that you used please

[@new_spin]

I don't recall all the parts, but if you hit up Yoshifab Josh should be able to get you all the info you need Off the top of my head it was his crossmember and driveshaft adapter, trans adapter plate, and clutch kit With an STS Machining flywheel because my car had an OBD1 engine swap and needed the crank signal reluctor cuts on the flywheel. Like I said let Josh know what you have engine/trans wise and he'll get you set up

[@tobiasseargeant2390]

Anyone else notice that he forgot the seal on the input shaft retainer???

[@new_spin]

I didn't, just didn't show that bit haha. Also didn't show putting silicone on the adapter itself

[@mattwilliams9949]

why wouldn't you change the rear main oil seal and clean the reused parts before putting it all back together. all that work and I still looks like a 30 year old volvo.

[@new_spin]

I did change the rear main seal haha There was a leak from the FRONT main seal though causing quite a lot of sludge under the engine yhat traveled backwards so there was only so much I could do

[@venostryke5220]

How much did the entire swap cost you?

[@new_spin]

VENOSTRYKE all the parts were around $2,000 (USD) That was what I went with though as far as options on the clutch, the flywheel setup, and me getting a good deal on the trans/driveshaft. Your mileage may vary haha

[@ryanrussell9882]

We’re did you get the crossmeber?

[@new_spin]

Josh at YoshiFab happened to have one he'd restored for a customer who wasn't able to pick it up.

[@theydidntnameme]

Nice video! So I noticed you had an M47 transmission originally. But you swapped from a dog dish flywheel to a flat flywheel. With this swap, did you use an M47 throwout bearing?

[@new_spin]

Yes it was an OEM Sachs throwout. Not sure if it was for an M47 but it was a Volvo part

[@new_spin]

The bellhousing dictates that

[@Elswalbe]

I've got everything for my 740 except the flywheel and clutch kit. do you know which pressure plate is used? and which size clutch works with that flywheel?

[@new_spin]

I ordered my whole clutch kit from Yoshifab. Josh secs some pretty good stuff. The flywheel I got from STS Machining

[@new_spin]

I'm sorry to say I don't know the exact specs, just that it was a Clutchmasters FX400

[@Elswalbe]

@@new_spin I see I can just use a 8.5" ford 10 spline disc, so that's easy, or the clutch you used. maybe I can contact STS machining to see which pressure plate style they recommend.

[@Elswalbe]

@@new_spin I ended up picking up the flywheel from STS Machining like I planned, I found a t5-spline clutch kit on their site and the same kit on Summit Racing. I should be nipping my t5 box up into the car soon!!!

[@72fordmaverick]

Is this 4cyl or v8 t5?

[@new_spin]

Both the trans and driveshaft were from a 5.0 Foxbody, V8

[@72fordmaverick]

@@new_spin I'm doing this swap next week. Did you use the yoshifab rear axle adapter flange as well? Did u have to remove engine mounts to get trans in?

[@72fordmaverick]

Did u use stock size clutch and pressure plate.and or use mustang one. Liat part number for clutch??

[@jaywood8540]

what is that T5 taken out of?

[@new_spin]

A Foxbody Mustang

[@new_spin]

Same with the driveshaft

[@jaywood8540]

@@new_spindoes the drive shaft have the carrier bearing? Did u have to fab the drive shaft?

[@nikolai502]

That is not a volvo t5

[@new_spin]

No it's a T5 transmission haha Didn't mean for a bait and switch xD
