3.73 with a T56-0.5 6th. I could probably go 3.90 or 4.11. My car does 1500 rpm at 70
That is what I am thinking for my '88 744, LS1/t56, 3.73, 225/50/16.
6th lugs a bit unless I'm cruising 80+

Man... all this LS talk makes me want and LS.
Still can?t believe what a dog the 5.0 is past 4,900rpm in stock form. Ford really choked these motors... I can love with less power just to hear that classic 5.0L flowmaster soundtrack!
Same setup for me, LT1 motor. Probably closer to 2000 rpm at 70.
Well... it looks like I can?t find a 3.31 axle locally. Still amazed at the cost of an aftermarket gear and pinion. Been thinking about a 8.8 conversation but, I already bought the LSD and invested in rims and tires. lol.
I guess my next option is to buy a 1031 axle with any ratio from a 240, along with a 1031 axle with 3.31 from a 740 and mix and match... or ask the guys at Chapman?s very nicely to swap the carriers .
After that... I may have to go stateside where freight will cost me the same amount as buying two axles here in Canada.
I can ask Mark in Vancouver if he has anything or a lead on one.
I know of a good 3.31 1031 244 diff sitting in a shop near Olympia Wa if you wanted to drive down.
There just has to be something closer.
Have you tried the Volvo Owners Of the PNW Facebook group? There?s also a PNW volvo classified group on FB as well.

If there is something closer, it's probably a huge chunk of rust. The Canadians come down here to buy cars that are actually mostly still comprised of steel and aluminum.
Other than the 960, I have never encountered a 3.31 gear set in a 7-9 series car.

89-90 740 GLE B234F with M46, not listed on that table, will have a 3.31 axle.
Good luck finding one of those, though.
I think the easiest would probably be a 960-I wagon, 92 to 94, with solid axle. Unless the gear sets can also be swapped out of the IRS differentials in the sedans and late 960/x90 platform?

I *think* that's a mis-print? The "GLE" & "N/A 4-cylinder" part is right, though?
All 700 manual 16V I've seen had a 3.91...all ~12 USA market 700 16V they sold w/manual.
They've also had M46 instead of M47 & Hydro clutch like the 700Ts instead of cable like the others..
I had a 1990 740GLE 16V/M46 with a 3.73 1031 G80
Have you tried car-part.com?Who would be the premier Volvo wrecker in Washington state or Oregon?
