Volvo B234 Engine

I would like to have a 16 valve turbo saab spg 900 and a b204gt powered 780 so i could have both of the cool late 80s swedish engines.

Volvo b234 engine. The service manuals includes the b23 b200 b230 b204 and b234 all those 4 cylinder engines are known as redblocks b28 and b280 engines and also the d24 diesel engines also the turbodiesel and turbodiesel with intercooler engines. Besides the fact that the blocks are completely different they use a timing belt driven oil pump and a seperate double sided belt to drive the balance shafts. If you have a b234 16 valve interference engine you must maintain the entire timing end of the engine rigorously. Used b234 long block no manifolds of accessories cracked rocker cover repairable.

The plenum is very small and thats a restriction on topend power. The volvo b21 is a slant straight four engine first used in the volvo 200 series meant to replace the b20. This means new timing and balance belts and a new and properly torqued oil pump bolt every 50k miles and replacement timing belt covers new tensioner and shaft seals on a regular schedule. Pickup preferred can deliver within sydney.

This was originally for a 16 valve volvo 740 gle but has been modified to work with 23l ford engines from the 80s and 90s mustang svo xr4ti ranger turbo coupe. Volvo cars has a long reputation as a maker of inline or straight engines. 4 9600mm3780in 8000mm3150in for further technical data click on the part no. B230 sohc 8v b234 dohc 16v including turbo engines 2316cc.

It also means re tensioning the new belts after a 500 mile break in period. While the b234 manifold is fine its nothing spectacular. The b21 and all derived engines are often referred to as red block engines for the red paint applied to the block. Aww i kinda like the 16v saab turbos.

Unknown mileage or condition would rebuild before use.
