Well clearly the cars can work on gravel as Jardevall showed us all so well.
And as we see in so many GruppH vids on Youtube..

Clearly. But with the abundance of 240s in the PNW (and the constant supply at the Pick-n-pulls) it would be kinda silly to purposely choose one.

Al is going to get a core send down so we can see just exactly what we'll need to do to get the Xratty 2.6 ZF rack into the car.
I'm sure it'll be as easy into a grandpa series with extremely minimal cutting and welding on the crossmember. Tie rod ends are already same thread on each end, so that means we have a number of Volvo and Ford tie rod ends to choose from.
