How possible would either be?

I know i could get 300hp out of a turbo 2.3. But I want a bigger engine.

How much could I get out of the 2.9 inline 6? Anyone ever tried stuffing it in 2XX?

And what if I could find a V8 from an XC90 at the junkyard -- would that be too complicated to fit?

I could stuff a Ford 5.0 in it, but I'd like to stay in the Volvo family.

Also, what about the new 6 speed trannies? Could they fit up to the 2.3, the 2.9, or the V8?

I'm aware this is mostly total dreaming, but just curiuos what others' thoughts are!!!

There's a couple guys in Australia, one who races a 740 (Dick Prince; www.ovlov.com), and Anthony Hyde (sorry, I don't recall his web address).

I seem to remember that on Dick's site there's a photo of a 240 with an I-6 installed... I know I've seen it somewhere, so it's possible.

A V8 from an XC90? Man, I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I would certainly think cost and complexity would be high. If those points aren't show-stopper issues for you, then cool! Press on.

As far as the Ford engine and the desire to stay Volvo goes... remember, Ford owns Volvo..!

Oops, Dick's site is www.ovlov.net.

Sorry!

i have seen a S80 (i think its a T6) motor stuffed in a 2xx...
