i have had good luck buying and installing rebuilt/remanufactured long blocks in dodges and plymouths, mostly slantsixes and 318 v8s. have bought them from pep boys or other auto parts supply stores. none of the ones have reman volvo engines available for 240s. given the large number of 240s still rolling i would think various rebuilding companies would have this model(b 230f). doesnt look like a difficult swap either. volvo dealer probably has them but it would require a mortgage.as a novice to volvos, wondering if there is something about this engine that does not lend itself to mass production rebuilding . i know these engines seem to last much longer before a rebuild is needed. educate me sages. thanks tons oldduke
