Volvo 340GL
Hello to all, just about to retired my 340GL Volvo from service and was wondering as i am new to this, If i could possibly use it as my doner car ?
The rear is independent but my concern is that the gear box attaches directly to the diff.
Also is it possible to loose the renault engine and fit a zetec instead. My concern hear is the gearbox on the diff.
Now im tapping all your knowledge as i know someone will have the answers.
Many thanks
Ian

I think the transaxle would occupy the space usually reserved for the drivers left buttock
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

yeah , unless its a CVT then it would occupy the whole seats !! , a +4 chassis would be a better base , from my measurements i took a while back ,
youll struggle to sit next to it comfortably since the box is on its side . Do some measuring and see how it looks ? you could just slap a 1.4 turbo
on the bellhousing - lighter and more compact - its worth considering - im having a second look .
