I am starting to remove all the accesory parts to pull my damaged motor (89 740T, 133K,)next weekend. A very close friend's wife is a Ford dealer rep and can get huge discounts on new cars and parts. I'll find out in the next few days how much it would be for a Volvo reman block or engine thru her. So the question is: Am I better off with a used low mileage engine, (I've located a 95 w/64K) or a rebuilt engine or shortblock thru Volvo? I've read here that Volvo has their red blocks rebuilt here now instead of in Sweden and the quality of the suppliers vary. I would like to hear opinions and experiences, particulary with the Volvo reman engines. Thanks in advance.
