Hallo to all, I found this side a couple moth ago. I own since 1989 a Volvo 265GLE (1979)he is in a quite good shape because he is sitting in my garage since 1992. I bought him for daily use in the beginning after the brake down of the B 27 I swap a B21A with the 4speed in it. I changed the automatic transmision to manual gearbox, changed from injection to carb. and so on and on. But after that he was to slow.
I bought a 244GLT and did the hole job again and changed everything again to B23E with 4speed plus overdrive. that was okay for almost 3 years. Than i gave him a new paint job and put him in one corner of my garage. And than after 100 of other cars and 11 years later I started to dig out him again last summer to bring him back on the road. So i figured that the ultimate engine is the Mustang 5.0 V8, because I like V8's and have also a Eldorado 8.2L 1972 and want to have some special custom vehicle. The first problem is to get a Mustang in Germany. But all other swap thing can be done in my garage. who of you knows sameone in Germany who did this??? I found tons of infos in this forum but nothing about germans. greetings and infos about my volvo you will find on www.automotive-mensing.de
