Ok here is my big question, I want to swap in a bigger more powerful volvo engine. But I also need it to be reliable, so is the b23T reliable? I hear mixed things about it. And how hard is it to swap in? It looks like the manifold might be a real pain in the arse! I hear the motor mounts are no fun as well. And the wiring. Is this all the problem or is there more? I am going to be rallying this volvo in Gp 2 so it needs to be a good engine. Ok anyone who knows what there talkin about please help me out here. And I think its called the (b23) i could be wrong? I dunno its either that or a B21? The engine with turbo is what I want. Also if anyone knows how to fix a really screwed up drivers side door & rear 1/4 panel. Can email me to give me some pointers. I know u want to work the outer part of the dent in but it looks like the metal has stretched badly so I don't know if its fixable? sure doesn't look pretty! I think I can take a pic tomorrow of my progress so far. I will try pulling it out with a dent puller, and putting on this fiberglass bondo stuff. See if that works. This is the first time I have ever fixed an auto dent. And its a big big dent so i figure I will screw up the first time. I have taken it to bare metal in the damaged area. Ok well sorry for the long post.
