Volvo 265 GLE - Stuart Rees - 09 Jun 2008 Hi all, Someone told me about a 1981 Volvo 265 that is rotting away in a field near to where I live, so I went around to see it and yep the engine looks pretty familiar. Would this bolt straight into a Delorean & if anyones interested I could have a word with the owner. - Tourettes Tony - 09 Jun 2008 the block is the same, but the sandwich plate and sump need changing plus a host of other changes. Its a shame but it looks to far gone to be worth removing and metering head is probably seized along with bores, what a waste i picked up all the volvo gear for mine venturi, metering head, dizzy plus all the bits i could lay my hands on for £60 TT - Dan6457 - 09 Jun 2008 I'll have the CPR out of it, but I suspect its too corroded up though :? - Stuart Rees - 11 Jun 2008 So what cars have exactly the same engine as the D? Ye looks too rusty to be used again :x ..... it does turn over though - tried it yesterday with a new battery, but the fuel system is shot. - Dan6457 - 11 Jun 2008 It looks like a delorean air filter box too. I thought the volvos had there own arrangement.
