It truely is a sad day, I knew the floor pans needed some work, and I was ok with that because the rest of the body has no rust. However apon further inspection I found the frame horns rusted out. So now my plans for my 745 have changed, the sad part is that it apparently is a rare model, with the b234f and m46 5spd. I really can't complane though I paid $300.00 for it about a year and a half ago. Since I put it on the road I have enjoyed driving it and in that time I have put over 30,000 miles on it. currently I have about $800.00 in it.
I figure @ 40,000 miles that will put my cost per mile @ .20 I don't include the cost of fuel of oil changes only purchase price and repairs.
So when the time comes that I can no longer drive it safely then I will either sell it outright for parts or part it out. The engine runs strong even with 277,000 miles and the transmission works perfectly, I had even got a new clutch for it, havn't installed it yet and probably won't now.
The research that I have done tells me this engine was only in the 89 and 90 model year vehicles, Volvo didn't break down the production numbers to include drivetrain combo's
