Re: New Volvo c304 owner new engine swap/ camp rig project
DISCLAIMER! I know im not the best fabricator out there! (yet) But its mostly all meant to be functional and easy to fix. Its not a show truck it will be used! I should invest in some extra tooling like a proper welder (not flux core) and maybe a mill instead of an angle grinder. The pieces that hav...

Re: New Volvo c304 owner new engine swap/ camp rig project
I am now working on getting the intake made up to where it will fit. I have also decided to go with an air over hydraulic setup on my brakes. I will already have an onboard air system for air lockers and 3rd axle disconnect. This is where we are today! I have ordered a bunch of parts that should be ...

Re: New Volvo c304 owner new engine swap/ camp rig project
She sits in there nice and snug but still plenty of room to work on! Next I decided to tackle the steering as I couldnt move her around the shop without getting steering functional. I removed the clutch pedal and modified the brake pedal assembly to hold my steering drop box. I did this for two reas...

Re: New Volvo c304 owner new engine swap/ camp rig project
After I got everything mounted and the frame was holding its new power plants on its own, It was time to check and make sure nothing interfered with the new power plant.

Re: New Volvo c304 owner new engine swap/ camp rig project
It is very long yes! It will not fit in the normal tgb13. It would have needed a cv rear drive line and it was only 9.5" from the output at the transfer case to the pinion flange. I am stretching the frame to about the same WB as the tgb20. Since I am building a custom box this wont effect mine...
