Freeze plug? Umm, I dunno. The closest I can think of is the one on a 700/900 motor where the distributor would be on a 240.

Did Dave finally drop a B230FT? Last I saw his wagon had a bored and stroked B23FT (err.. B26FT :-D).

The problem with trying to swap anything other than B21FT into a 240 Turbo is that no other Volvo used a similar injection setup. The NA K-Jet cars have components in totally different locations, and all the other later turbos were equipped with LH-Jet. I think a B230FT would make a great swap (and in the last b230ft into 240T thread someone posted a link to this guy's site.. where he had done just that swap.. even left the distributor in the back of the head too). But if you can't part with the car for that long, a B21FT should be pretty easy to find in a junkyard.

And yes.. if the coolant froze over, there's a large chance that the block has been cracked or otherwise damaged severely.
