The Volvo 240 is my favorite of all time! My dream car would be a white wagon with blue cloth and a T-5 swap from a Volvo 850Turbo 👍

[@MAMotorsports]

They really are neat !

[@Erased_in_Space]

what is a t5 swap?

[@oaojoni]

@@Erased_in_Space its a five cylinder from the volvo 850 the best swap for the 240

[@brandonlance4life]

[@zoellamovie]

This is my car and will be up for sale soon, most likely on Bring a Trailer, for anyone interested. For those asking about the CCW classic wheels, the fronts were 17x8 with a 225/45/17 tire and iirc 15.9mm offset The rears are 17x9 with 255x40x17 tire and 19mm offset

[@Mo5005]

Would you be open to selling outside of BaT?

[@Cemi_Mhikku]

@@Mo5005 That gets expensive. They get FIESTY about that, especially under the new ownership. Corpos gonna corpo and all.

[@lifelong5425]

Ouch...that really moves...A Granny car, say what.....oh no, why am I eating dust..Superb piece of work. Even that old, the Volvo wagons never lose that timeless and classic look.

[@warbirdtbf]

Amazing Volvo 240 wagon. Congrats.

[@Elving_]

This is one of the coolest 245 builds I have seen. Such a clean build. Love the powerplant.

[@michaeln.7083]

That's such a great looking wagon.. it's super clean too I've seen it up close its really a work of art... beautiful work!! As always

[@MAMotorsports]

Thanks Mike!

[@silumansulingiblis]

Volvo body + Toyota engine = eternal

[@LittleBear97]

This feels absolutely crazy. I just purchased a 240 wagon that looks exactly like this including paint color! I was looking for inspiration for how I wanted my car to turn out one day and i guess i have a pretty easy template to follow! If I'm ever stationed in the MD area i know who I'm taking my car to 😁

[@broward123]

240 for life! 🇸🇪

[@eriqrosado3337]

The baddest wagon I e seen in some time. There tastily done. And can only imagine how much fun that beast has to be? 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️😍🤤

[@gruvgaterecords7973]

Greatness. flying brick smurf blue! 🔥

[@dzrotary]

Hey . I have a 92 wagon with a 7mgte 5 speed ,but I'm upgrading it with a 1uzfe . Nice super clean mod!!!!

[@michaelweinman9051]

Dreaming we could have a fast 240 like this. ha ha Cheers!

[@timlangmaid5522]

I really like how you cut the front bumper out ,how was it done?

[@MAMotorsports]

Thanks. I believe we just used an airsaw. We originally did not want to cut the bumper to be honest but the oem bumper cover leaves very little open area for air flow and we wanted as much air to get to the radiator and IC as possible.

[@nathanong87]

so sick. i remember seeing this at the shop.

[@marcocapolla7288]

That is one bad ass wagon, incredible build. What is that white car at the end?

[@cookierageracing7052]

Awesome build as always guys this is the same turbo I have for my 2j what cams went in it and what power did it make?

[@ericschmitt7369]

What an incredible build!

[@MAMotorsports]

Thanks Eric. They are cooler when they look AND drive the part.

Great exhaust

[@chrishowton1]

Nice work B Dub

[@jelleotter]

Nice rims!

[@Mastermindyoung14]

@5:45 how big is the driveshaft? 3.5" should fit a lowered 240 and hit bump stop before it rubs. Sick build!

[@MAMotorsports]

It was 3” steel I think. The issue was that the JZ with this trans was mounted as low as possible and still not able to clear.

[@CarlosRivera-hi7th]

Good job . Wish I had money . I want one

[@MAMotorsports]

Thank you! We wish we had one for ourselves also.

[@klr142]

Very cool!

[@MST-ph2ky]

Great, I like this car so mutch. Al so the paint, VOLVO Bläe with black 👍🏻.

[@TurboWorld]

Looks and sounds great, I love those supra power plants! How much power does this make? Big money on big parts for sure, very clean! With a team, the sky is the limit! Was expecting gnarly burnouts but only got a tiny little gravel skirt. I laughed at the wastegate plumbed back into exhaust comment "civilized vehicle" . Very interesting radiator tabs, I like it! Would be interesting to see it on the track , dyno and scales! Subscribed for more info on this Hopefully!

[@MAMotorsports]

They are great engines to swap for sure. We have put them in ALL kinds of vehicles from the typical Nissan to an El Camino to a couple different Volvos, BMWs and more. This car made 500whp on our low reading Mainline dyno. Not my place to do burnouts in the clients car(unless we are building and testing a drift car but we do street drive them enough before delivering. Thanks for watching!

[@TurboWorld]

@@MAMotorsports Thanks for your response, and sharing the video.

[@BP-se3hg]

Just wow 😍

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

@@MAMotorsports For future reference, look into hp monster red blocks from Sweden. People here are getting 600hp with 99% stock b230ft, just bigger injectors etc etc but internally it's original except stronger rods.

[@djimpulse]

Love this car!!

Awesome work guys👍👍👍

[@BoostByBrick]

what’s the wheel specs, thinking about going 17x10 et25 rear and 17x8.5 et25 front but looking for examples since i don’t know if they’ll fit?

[@winandd8649]

So where's the front license plate going to be mouted? In the original spot with some stand-offs?

[@tatejonovous8551]

How much did it cost please for the full revamp if you don’t mind asking

[@cesargaming3105]

amazing

[@xx_dusty_xx4578]

im looking to do something similar to my 91 wagon, what does something like this cost to build?

[@MAMotorsports]

You’re welcome to shoot us an email. This was a pricey project but there are lots of options.

[@MAMotorsports]

Volvo rear with aftermarket LSD installed.

[@anthonythomas721]

You you from DC I saw a DC tag how can we get a Volvo group together and show out custom Volvos Volvo for life

[@Beef_jerky_official]

How did the motor fit I just bought a 240 and I’m putting a 2jz motor in it too😂

[@MAMotorsports]

it required modification to the cross member and a customer tunnel for the driveshaft in order to get everything where we wanted it.

[@philb707]

$100K build, please one of you guys buy this.

[@supertouring1]

Wow, I wonder what was the budget for this build? 👍🤔😱

[@TurboWorld]

A LOT! Screams Sema build.

[@Thedondappa1]

Would you guys do another video on this build..... Would like to see the finish outcome and more of ita performance.... Does the owner have a Instagram/facebook page? Great build same way.....

[@MAMotorsports]

The car is finished in the video. I do not believe the owner has a social media presence with the car. Thanks!

[@johnmiller9602]

Does the volvo 740 platform have more engine bay room than the the 240?

[@MAMotorsports]

We actually 2J swapped a 740 also in the past. It’s about the same amount of space from what I recall. Maybe a little more but I believe they are pretty close to the same.

[@Ellis_B]

She's a beaut

[@tk2070]

Tbh 3 peice wheels is a dead give away bro lol. so some like 18 inch factory volvo rims with firehawk indy 500 tires or something

What exact wheel fitment, size, offset and bolt pattern

[@MAMotorsports]

Sorry, I do not recall the exact sizes.

[@JP2JZ]

do you know what that paint colour is?

[@MAMotorsports]

I do not know but ill try and remember to ask the owner.

[@zoellamovie]

Volvo scotia blue

[@SimasMc]

Really nice car but it could be nicer. Overall the body and the powertrain is perfect in my opinion, but the interior is lacking. Put the stock cluster back in and the stock seats modify the headunit to be bluetooth. Amd just make it look and feel exactly as oem.

[@MAMotorsports]

We mentioned that the car was going to the stereo and upholstery shop. The stock cluster would not deliver the information the driver needs and wants. Thanks for watching though.

[@1smooth84]

Wow, It’s done the way the owner wants it!!!!! Do yours the way you want it!!!! People like you are weird!!!!

Why 2jz? Potent Volvo engins about to choose from…
