How difficult is it to use the IPD tackle to mount a Ford 5.0 Mustang V8 into a Volvo 240 series sedan?

I have read of a few instances of general public that have done this plus IPD make all the parts that allow for this, plus I asked a Volvo guy at a Volvo-only garage how they'd do this and he said the one and only thing you call for besides the new engine is to replace the front springs near 240 station wagon spring to accomodate the counterbalance of the bigger heavier engine.

I want to make the penultimate sleeper saloon and I figure what better motor to catch individuals with their pant down so to speak would be a Volvo 240 sedan, plus I like how they look and drive anyway.

I'd be very wise here. These V8 conversions, when done on a Volvo 740 (a bigger car than the 240), requires is some sheet metal modifications to accommodate the V8. I've included a connect for you to reference to see what you're up against. The 240 engine fjord is certainly more confined than the 740 so a short time ago beware that it might not be as simple as the "Volvo guy" said it was. It would be a fine setup though. I know it can be done because I hold seen one Ford V8 conversion surrounded by a '78 Bertone, which is a 262 (V6 engine).
