Hello from Brisbane AU. --I have a 68 s/w which need reassembly and some body work at rear .fitted factory 4 speed .i intend to rejuvenate a 253 Aussie Holden engine and fit that .like your coil overs so ill upgrade the suspension .V8 conversion common here .nice work
Thanks for posting this. It was extremely helpful to be able to follow along while I did the same job. Is there a trick to putting the half shafts back in?
Sorry for the late reply. You have to lift them and center them into the differential opening so the best thing to do is visualize them and unfortunately there's not much to balance on except the new seal.
yes it is. It is a 1972 140 and from 1971 or 70 the were with the short shift. You can build one in your Amazon but you need to cut your body to fit the gearbox
David Bello Your bellhous will not fit. And the gearing of the m47 compared to your diff will give you very strange gearchanges. Also your speedo isn't going to work because the cars with the M47 had a Electronic speeding sensor in the differential. My advise is search for a M41 or a M46 . M46 will be your 2nd choice but it wil be the best. There are some rare M47s with a speed cable but they have very bad 2nd gears
good to see someone who actually knows how to fit bits ..
awesome timing. Doing the same job on my 122 and this video came out at just the right time.
Your neighbors must love how many Volvo's you have in the road...lol

4:46 that oi noise 😂😂😂 when I did the drums on mine it was more like f#@*%£g hell!
I have a 122s in the garage with a 160 engine, overdrive, jetex exhaust. Shame it's not run in 10 years...
TheBatpants It probably won't take much to get it running again :)
Don't think so, needs a bit of tlc and welding (not to mention a new boot lid) and it should run fine after that

Do you know a company that makes parts for Volvo 245's?

I am using a m46 overdrive for my 140 b20. Only need a new bellhousing because te engine from a 240 is under a angle.
That dutch guy but your shifter is the short style?

Can I just put an m47 and get rid of the electronic overdrive? Or will it not work with my speedometer?

That dutch guy i just swapped my m41 for the m40 again because it broke on our trip to Oregon. I'll look fire another to keep things simple
