take the head of a 2.3 volvo, modify it a lil to fit on the ford 2.3.. add turbo and swoosh!!

TurboLX · May 29th, 2007, 07:43 PM

thats funny i never knew you could swap volvo heads on to a ford 2.3, before i got myself into mustangs all i did was build radical horse powered volvo motors, lol. i might have to try this once im done with my 408 notchback.

nopedy dopety nope nope

u can leave it n/a, thats wut im plannin to do until i make my own turbo setup

JBake · June 2nd, 2007, 09:09 PM

that is GREAT...
turbo charging a car is cool and all, but im not into drag racing,
i just like the unique setup, and think it would be good at my scca road course setup!
