I used to be a pretty frequent poster on this site, but when the head gasket on my S70 gave way a few years ago, I parked it in the back yard and forgot about everything Volvo. I was recently doing some yard work and opened up the door to move it to a different spot and fell back in love with the car. I have decided to operate on her and get her going again. I know the timing belt needs to be replaced, along with the head gasket, and flame trap. She was leaking oil like crazy when she died. Since I plan to revive her, I've been looking around and have found an engine out of a wrecked car for $500.00. That engine has a 30 day warranty plus one week to allow for it to be installed. I'm still trying to decide if the engine swap would be better or if I just need to replace the parts and throw some more miles on my current engine. I see Klaus and a few of the other guys are still alive and kicking around on here, so maybe someone can offer some advice on this. Used engine or rebuild my old one? Whaddya think?
