Default Volvo 240 engine

Hello everyone!

I have an 83 240 with d24 engine in it. The engine is very worn and i'm considering replacing it (thats the cheapest option in Serbia). It uses 5 liters of oil every 1000km, makes a bad noise, the smoke is blue and diesel has become very expensive in serbia.

Here's the deal:

The car originally had a petrol engine (unknown) than it was swapped with a 2.3 fuel injected (b23) than that was swapped with a b20 and then with this VW d24.

I would like to install a redblock 4 cylinder petrol engine. I know that i have to change the tranny too. Which ones fit? I know that i should be able to swap a 240 engine in, but can i install a 740 or a 940 redblock into my 240? I'm planning of buying engine and gearbox together and putting it in my car. The 740 and 940 are much better options than a 240 engine since they are in better condition here.

I know that i have to change a bunch of other things for example the radiator, but as long as it is possible - i'm willing to do it.

I dont care about horsepower that much, but i would be happiest to just take the 940 or 740 engine and gearbox out of a donor and put it in my car.

I hope that you can help me.

Regards

NOTE: all the swapped out engines are still alive - i'm not killing any volvos. My d24 is going into a donor, which will still be driven
