My wife had a 740, about a 75 model (i think) with a Diesel engine. It was slanted in the engine compartment.
How much Torque did that diesel have?
What was the MPG of that diesel?

The idea of replaceing a gas engine in a Ford Pickup with that Volvo diesel sort of intrigued me.
Also, did Volvo have a Four speed auto for that Diesel.

I'll check in later tonite and tomorrow.
