Hi Paul,

The 240 rear is a little beefier as it is a Dana 30 (1030) instead of a Dana 27 (case is physically the same size). The parts availability is very good as the 30 is still made and available on Jeeps and such, so the TrueTrac was a stocked part etc (or in my case a friend had one in his garage!).

If I was doing it again, I would convert everything to the modern Volvo bolt pattern (5 - 108mm) instead of converting the rear to 5 on 4 1/2" as I did. I have a set of stock widened steel wheels that I am going to run and want the car to look stock, so 5 on 4 1/2" was required. It is easier to convert the fronts to later 1800 spindles which are already 5 - 108 or just have them redrilled. The rear rotors are only $35 each at my local parts place, all the seals were over the counter as were the bearings. Nice change from the usual internet parts chase for the old stuff.

I'll revive the thread when I get the rest of the parts for the install and get it back on the road.

Craig
