940 sump o ring identification

940 sump o ring identification

i’ve had the low oil pressure light so have attempted to replace the pickup tube o rings, but once i pulled the sump cover off i found this o ring in the bottom, it’s wider than the pickup tube ones and i can’t see where it’s from

anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Swapping a 940 b230ft into a 740 chassis

I recently purchased a 98 volvo 940 estate with a b230ft redblock and the m90 gearbox, because i’m an idiot and make impulsive purchases it also came with a LOT of rust

long story short i’d love to save the engine and gearbox and have always loved the 740 estates, so am considering buying a shell and fitting my gearbox and engine, of which i’ve found a 92 740 shell that looks really clean

from what i know all 240-940 engines are pretty similar, i’m not sure what the 740 previously had in it but mechanically i my 940 is pretty good so happy to move as much over as i can

Is there anything i should look out for/big things to note/anything to buy ahead of time before actually considering this project?

the 740 doesn’t look to have had air conditioning as there is no buttons on the centre console with the dials, ideally i’d be able to fit the AC from my 940 to it but i feel that could end up being the bigger of the two tasks

Edit: spoke to the person selling the shell and its missing the diff, ecu, and wiring harness as well, my understanding is i would be taking the ecu and harness from my donor anyway but am unsure about the diff
