I picked up a 85 volvo 740 gle turbo diesel and volvo used the VW D24T engine in them which is basically a 1.6 IDI like what's found in the rabbits with 2 more cylinders making it a 2.4 liter straight 6. It has the VE pump that's belt driven off the back of the cam and a garret turbo. It's backed by the volvo m46 4 speed standard with a push button overdrive factory similar to a gear vendors style. The car its self is a dumpster all 4 struts are junk and its a wiring disaster. I picked it up for $400 figured why not I made it run decent cylinder 1 intake valve was tight and bleeding off compression so I took the valve lash disc out and put it in the vise and took some material off with a flap wheel on a grinder I probably took a tad too much out because I revved it pretty high and it shot the disc out and screwed up the lifter so I'm searching for one of those. I'm debating swapping the motor and trans into a 2wd Ranger if I do that I will set all the valve lashes on a stand fix any leaks and replace the timing and injection pump belts and idlers etc. It's not very powerful but I've put the power screw t just about a runaway and ground the fuel pin some shimming the intermediate governor spring would be next as supposedly that's supposed to add quite a bit of midrange power. It's defiantly a back burner maybe someday project
