James,
Scroll back 50 postings,walrus has a posting with an excellent
recent discussion about mega-squirt.
The white block is the new style volvo engine,and a
900-Nine-hundred is the last of the rear-wheel drives.
'White blocks' are pricey,unless they come from a wreck,
and if the timing belt breaks the pistons hit the valves,
and it's hammered.
RE: moving engine back.
As the early 289 article mentioned the oil sump is in front
of the cross-member on a ford,and behind on a Volvo.
Also very close to 50-50 weight distribution is possible,
a-la BMW.
RE: Front spindles and brakes
Strong Pimp Hand has an excellent thread going on big brakes for 240's.
And some links to people who fabricate for conversions.
Wheel spacers can change bolt patterns as long as they are 25mm 1 in
thick or more. Also centerline has some new super light wheels called
Convo-Pro, and I think they make them up also.

The computer may have a translation feature.
