I've about gotten the 245 ready for the road.

I've got a donar 744 that's probably going to donate it's AW 70, but I may also go for an M46 that I've located for a VERY good price (buying it either way).

I'm actually thinking of pulling the good b21f in favor of a b230f. I did the same in my 78, but in that case the original engine was toast. Hate the idea of yanking a good B21F, but I'm extreamly happy with the 78 after the swap......... hard to decide. I'm going to drive the car as is now, swap the trans in Jan or Feb and hopefully by then I'll have decided on the engine.

What would you do? (as to the engine, the trans comes down to who all is going to be driving it)

Once the trans is swapped the 78 is to be sold :`(
Hate to let another one go, but I still want a 245 diesel and I REALLY don't need 3 245s! I already have 2 745s (one of them is getting donated to a good cause though).

In my little messed up world, this is just TOO much drama. I HATE to loose a car and even more so a Volvo. That's making my decision on the 79 a little tougher.

The car is going to be an everything car and will see MANY miles each week.
