The M45 gearbox is also the strongest one. It can handle much mote torque/power than the other gearboxes. It's the cheapest gearbox to buy too.
The most common engine mounted in the Volvo 340 cars is a Renault engine called B14 in the "Volvo language". This engine I would NOT consider putting in my Sammy.
But some 340s were equipped with the B19 engine as Massey told you. The 360 was delivered up to 1985 with the B19. These engines may also be found in Volvo 240 from 1977 to 1985. But the Volvo 240 is also delivered with B21 and B23 engines.
The B19 (1986CCM), B21 (2096CCM)and B23 (2312CCM) is the same engine but with different sized pistons.
These engines is at least in Norway very easy to find and cheap too... Equipped in 240 in the same years exept the B21 that was delivered from 1975 to 1985.
If you want your engine to run on unleaded fuel you must choose the B200 or B230 (1986 to 1993 I think). They are delivered in Volvo 240, 360 and 740.
If you are lucky you can find a Volvo 740 or 940 with the B234 engine who has a 16 Valve Cylinder head.
In this text I have consentrated on the conventional engines (Without turbo) as the turbo engines will in my opinion provide you more trouble and hard work than pleasure.
If you have more questions just ask!
