Hello, new to the board, first post. I am new to Volvos, but not new to mechanics, i.e. lot of o.t. experience. I just bought an 89 740 wagon with a rod knock. I have a derelict '79 240 with a good motor and an '88 240 that has a good motor but of the two I would rather part out the '79. So, what options do I have here? Would the '79 crank work in the '89? Is using the '88 motor my only choice? Also if I could get a quick idiots guide to engine ID, that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Phil
