Wanted - Late model 240 coolant pipe.

joshhhhhhugo

Hi all, I'm turboing my 83 240 however I can't fit the manifold due to the coolant pipe being in the way (the hard pipe out of the back of the water pump). From what I understand one off an 86 or newer 240 should clear fine. Has anyone got one they'd sell and post to me? Cheaper the better. Thanks.

I'm fairly sure it's across the board but I've encountered B23 and B230's run different non interchangeable water pumps and the coolant hard line also attaches differently in that the flange that you bolt the pipe to the water pump is reversed so this likely won't work.

volvodriverman from what I understand, the only issue with swapping them over is the tab that bolts to the water pump is in a different spot. I can modify this to fit. I'd much rather weld a tab on than cause leaks by modifying the pipe itself.

Yep that's it, just thought I'd flag it as it's not a direct bolt on solution. Carry on!

It was a dollar of aluminium, $5 of cap screws and and hour with a hole saw, linisher and a round file.
