A stock b230 block cannot get up to that displacement. You need aftermarket block

You can't stroke one to 3.2l?

240s and Sawzall blades are still reasonably affordable, no?

Most 240s you can just cut in half with a butter knife by now.

I had a 242. It was heavy and slow, but looked great. It ate a valve and still ran for years after...even slower.

Is this an Olvo? Or a Vovo?

asfletch@reddit

Volvo trucks (at least here in Aus) used to have OVLOV on the front, so you could read the name in your rearview mirror.

Apparently Volvo still owns it and it occasionally gets rolled out for shows. It's a little bit of a shame it's not out in the wild but at least it's looked after

Probably what’s left is moldering away in a barn somewhere covered with centimeters of a pigeon crap after a farmer used it to haul hay through a salt marsh for 35 years. Would still start and drive with a jumpstart and a few liters of fresh gas

The 240 series should be in Museums AND brought back. One of the best cars ever made, and certainly the most reliable, next to the P1800. Best seats too.

JCDU@reddit

If they did what Renault has done with the new 5 to the 240 design and gave us a kick-ass electric wagon that's built like a tank my piggy bank would be in some danger.

The 360 and some of the 340 series cars was more or less a shrunk down 240. Really fun cars.
View on Reddit #78785082

Vladimir_Chrootin@reddit

The 300 series was designed by DAF, not Volvo. Other than the 360 using the redblock engine, there are almost no shared parts with the 240.
View on Reddit #78794851

birgor@reddit

This is true for the early 340, but as time progressed they became more and more Volvo. Especially the 360 that has the 240 gearbox with 240 overdrive.

I hear that. Had Volvos and SAABs my whole life, and I'm still strangely smitten.

I sold my Saab in a fit of rage after having to replace the heater valve through the speaker hole in the dashboard for the third time.

Volvo should really just make this car again in the wagon in sedan. Few safety upgrades but not tech shit.
