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!!!

Dan
