I'm assuming that 240 turbo you found is a sedan NOT a wagon. The stock 240 turbo wagons used a different (much smaller) rear sway bar than the sedans. "Urban myth" is that Volvo used smaller rear bar over concerns about what a fully loaded wagon on wet road surface would do.

A few years ago I set up an '85 DL wagon this way: front sway bar from a Turbo sedan, rear sway bar from a non-turbo sedan (which is larger than the one on your wagon). I used IPD poly bushings on front bar. With Boge turbo shocks, new suspension bushings and Virgo 15" rims, handling was much improved.

Other things to pull from that Turbo: tachometer, and clock/oil pressure/etc. instrument cluster.
