    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    Doing a quick google search - 03 & 05 Silverado's are both P59, so the ECM & harness should be similar. Your TAC module looks identical to mine.If you message me your email, I'll send you the spreadsheet. It has 4 sheets, not all are complete yet. I included the connections to the Volvo system...

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    I can always share the spreadsheets I made. They do use the colors that came with the aftermarket relocation harness, which may or may not be identical to factory - however the pinouts would be the same either way. My donor was a 2004 Silverado. I would assume as long as yours is in the same...

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    I'm going to leave the stock diff initially - in part cos I want to reduce the amount of time the pickup will be out of service, and in part so I can mull over the options ppl have used, with some actual experience in hand to gauge what alternative gearing would mean in practice. Also, if I do...

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    @corivus - For the EMS harness, I broke it function groups and used Delphi GT150/280 series housings and terminals. This is small enough to fit through a factory Volvo bulkhead grommet. Furukawa .25 series for the 2 power supply cables. I use Mouser, CycleTerminal and Corsa Technic for...

    Regina to LH 2.4 Swap

    Bumping this. Looks like I'll need to do this, the V8 swap isn't going to start until after I go to Ithaca in June for the EuroMeet '24. I'm getting tired of the Regina lean tip in condition. Have to baby it too much. Should be able to bang it out in a few days, I hope. Swapping flywheel will...

    It was indeed! in addition, I'd never seen the car rolling in it's current form - no one else has driven it besides me, so it was definitely weird.

    745 into Pickup

    I did have the entire kit with harness, switch & relays - mine was pre-wired for fogs, so I didn't need the harness, and I got the dual fog switch, and the relay is specific to just a few years - the generic cube will short out the headlight switch yellow/white wire all the way to the fusebox...

    Finally got around to this - made the brackets needed to refit the single lamp units, using some suitable gauge leftover SS sheet Test fit grille & grille brackets, which attach to the same headlamp mount brackets Back to the base model nose job With the fitment done, I moved on to rewiring...

    LH2.2 Tuning For Non-Volvo Installation / X1/9 Dallara + K24 Swap

    Thanks - it was a long term work in progress, so I never tallied the outlays. The K swap was the expensive conversion, that I know cost me at least 8k in parts. Can't imagine paying labor for that, probably at least a 20k proposition. As it is, the sale price covers the cost of the 280Z up to...

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    Missed your post back in Feb. I didn't know the P80 rears fit - haven't looked into it. Back when I had my 98, I recall updating the rear calipers & (vented) rotors, but I don't recall what the updated (larger or vented) setup came from, maybe the 2000 R (?)....

    Corivus' 1991 740SE v8 swap

    The reman (new) unit I got off RockAuto (BBB INDUSTRIES 3070112) seems solid. For a tad under $300, I'd say it's not a bad deal. Doesn't come with tie rod ends or lock nuts.

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    One of the P80 calipers I had put on last year in prep for the V8 conversion seized on me - the rotor was quite blue . I had to rebuild the caliper as I had modded the 'clamp' section to clear the 15" Volvo wheels I use for snows. I got a complete kit with new piston off RockAuto. Doesn't seem...

    1991 740 pickup LR4 V8/4L60e Swap

    In December I added a platform with an awning on the back of the garage, to use for storing heavy equipment that doesn' really need to occupy precious space inside. My plan was to work on adding a real addition to the garage, but after meeting with one of the town building inspectors, my lot...

    Hi - thank you Corivus - I still have the original harness connectors, so I was going to get 9004 LEDs - I've used Auxito brand in the past, which are not the cheapest, however they have the built in fans/heat sink for heat dissipation at the back. I have the H4 version in eCodes now. It would...

    Going to go back to the original headlamp setup. I found a complete set with the frames, my originals were toast, and the lenses were yellowed. The problem with the Depot Ecodes is that the adjusters are crap - I haven't been able to get the the low beams or fogs properly set since I put them...
