I'm thinking about the same conversion in my syncro.
Googled a lot and hard to find anything on this conversion.
Sad your selling yours.
I'm looking at laying the engine over more and modifying the sump and oil pickup.

Whats going on £280.00 for the winning bid.All that work for 3 weeks shopping for the family at tesco.It would have been worth asking around on here for a better price or even some help to get it on the road.

After reading this many times I bit the bullet and bought a conversion kit from Sweden, I bought a complete 1989 240 volvo as I was going to run late injection. Can't do that is it has a crank sensor that won't adapt.
But I bought a carb and manifold. So this will do for starters.
Things I've found out. 360 volvo have shorter water pumps.
When I get off my butt and start. I'll be posting my conversion.

Have a google chap, trigger wheel on front pulley appears to be the norm
Should have put a wanted ad up, have a brand new kit from Sweden sat in a box

Would have saved me the $$$ I payed to get one from SAM.
No big problems. I'll be re drilling my adaptor plate also. I want to lay the motor over further.
