But you didn't shorten the driver side axle tube! When these come out of the ford they are a few inches longer on the driver side, so to install them centered on the 240 you need to take 2.75" out of the tube so that the left and right are the same length. When you're at the yard you need to grab an extra passenger side 8.8 axle, then you can shorten the tube and install the extra passenger side axle in the driver side tube. I guess you could run 2.75" wheel spacers on the passenger side! :D

@SeanHodgins 3 года назад

@BBB Man haha, I guess you could do that, would be pretty silly to do all that work to center it instead of just fixing the long axle. Plus the 240 tunnel is already pretty tight in most cases, I don’t think you could get away with that big of a sideways angle.

You do have to shorten the driverside tube and put a passenger side axle in if you’re doing it the right way, i cant see this diff being center without one wheels sticking out farther than the other

I fucking love this build! You should get some old skiis or something to put up on those roof rails just to add to the sleeper look. If you want more sick Volvo builds I can recommend: Drifts n' lifts is sick and the guy running it is a God at drifting Volvo's, I've never seen someone outside of Sweden drift a Volvo better than him. Peterbjork is a super cool Swedish guy that is currently building a Volvo 245 like gingiums but with a Lamborghini Gallardo V10 swap (no you didn't read it wrong).

Not trying to be that guy, but u could've saved yourself the time and just welded the stock unit, they have reliably ran 700+hp. Still stoked for the build. However kinda bummed that more and more people are realizing volvos can be enthusiast cars cause it's gonna drive parts prices up... Lol

Everyone watching this and taking notes: shorten the long side to match the short side and use 2 short axles. Otherwise your 8.8 isn't centered.

@rhorn79 3 года назад

T56 with 373 gears will be better off than the 327 even on the highway. That's 6th gear gives it alot of room most chevy guys opt to put 410's in because the T56 is so versatile.

he could just have gooten the rearaxle of a volvo 240 turbo which is 600hp capable and 100% bolt on. he would never break an driveshaft with a torsen diff put in it, at this power level.

You can use an axel out of a 240 diesel and it bolts right in, no modification. The diesel rear end is a Dana 7 3/4. I had a Mopar 340 small block in a 240 wagon and the rear end held up fine.

@racer193wr 3 года назад

If ebay is sponsoring this why did you not try and find a independent rear suspension from like a gt mustang or if they are to much maybe from an escalade and make it fit into the back of the volvo. That would make this build next level and it could have potential to handle a autocross as well as some crazy drifting. Also love your videos, the used parts you use resemble the condition of junkyard parts where I live. Crusty and rusty is a huge parts of buying junkyard bits here in eastern Canada.

@racer193wr 3 года назад

@BBB Man everyone who swaps a 240 keeps a solid axel for ease of use... putting a whole subframe from say a mustang gt would make for great content and it would be somthing a little different from the norm. Im a volvo guy and have owned a bunch of them. And its always great when someone builds one but they all follow the same blueprint.

@@_Gingium_ im no expert but yea they are stronger ford 8.8 or the 9 i think its what people swap to for dragraceing mostly they have beefier driveshafts. In sweden u can get upgraded driveshafts for the volvo axel but its probebly better for you to run the ford mostly for parts being everywhere for you. Here the volvo axels are super common so there are parts everywhere in sweden.
