Hey Denny,

Found your post so I figured that I would reply here.

The electricals on the 260 Series are really not that different from most 240's. Most of the interior intrument cluster wiring is wired the same with the exception of the 6 cyl or 4 cyl tach. Engine wise is a different story. The old B28 K-Jet Bosch Ignition system is nothing like the 92 B230F since Volvo went more electricals - sensors to help increase horsepower, mpg and and decrease emissions. In my opinion you would be better off grabbing everything electrical that is connected to the engine (harnesses, fuse blocks, wiring into the cabin) and the main harness that goes into the cabin to the fuse box - instrument cluster. Keep in mind that you also want to get the wiring for the engine diagnostic system that came with the 92 B230F so you could troubleshoot your engine in the furture if need be. Ideally you would need to have the DONOR CAR along side your PROJECT CAR in order to do a complete transplant and make sure you do not leave out anything. Everything will bolt up since the chassis are the same and the have holes pre-drilled for the engine mount - transmisson cross member mount. You might be able to get a packaged deal with the junk yard if you are able to purchase the entire DONOR CAR instead of just piece by piece.

I do have complete copies of the wiring diagrams for all years of the 260's so if you need me to scan some for you to compare some of the wiring differnces I could help you out there. It will take me a day or two but I can get them to you with little effort. I have thought about transplanting a another engine (possibly a B230FT) into one of my 260's but I must admit that I do like having the PRV V6 since they still run good. I do know that the gas mileage is not so good but I dont drive the car all that much... that is what the motorcycle is for. If you have any other questions just drop me a line and I will help anyway I can. Take Care!
