Volvo 360 Engine swap

That's a relief, I completely forgot they had Rear drums, but I guess they are quite lite.

In conversation with a few of my drift buddies. someone pointed out the 2 "Fuel" Gauges, I haven't been able to work out what the top left one is! Is it oil pressure? Or even battery voltage?

Cheers!
Ps Here is a few pictures

That's all for now, Ill have more next week

 

[Mr.Borrie]

Looks good even has electric windows etc.. i'd say go for it
Oh and the top one seems to be a economy gauage telling you how eco you are driving (vacuum)

 

[Ghettobird]

Ive been looking into Diff welding, Im told the driveshafts on these cars aren't the best, and parts are quite scace in my part of the world.

Is this anything to worry about? or are there conversions that I can do to fit other shafts in its place in such a scenario.
Cheers!

 

[Mr.Borrie]

just be sure to replace the bolts on the shaft holder thingy

or it will result in this

 

[Ghettobird]

Wow!
Are they the splines that line up or something else?
In the event of a drive shaft failure, is an entire replacement necessary? or is it smaller components that fail?

 

[Mr.Borrie]

small component fail because of the bolts decaying.

 

[Ghettobird]

Right.
What is the name of the component you posted before?
I will be sure to look into making the driveline as bulletproof as possible!

 

[Mr.Borrie]

I dont know we in the netherlands just call it " koppelstukje" i dont know the real name for it.
They sell replacement bolts sets for these, replacing them makes it work for the next few years for sure.
I think i even have a spare set of bolts somewhere or go on volvo300mania there is a guy selling bolt sets for just about all the parts of the 360
