Re: Converse V8 kit questions 900 '93

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter on  Mon Oct 15 05:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

A carbed version conversion would be no problem. There are numerous folks that have done it.

I don't know about the Cleveland block as far a mounts go, but the taller deck height and wider cylinder head spacing (plus the extra weight) may prove problematic depending on the car it's going into. Certainly right side header clearance is already a problem with the 5.0 block - the Cleveland's got to be worse. I considered this block before building my car (stroked 5.0 945) but decided against it for the preceding reasons.

I didn't use the Converse kit, but have heard good, if not, great, things about it. I suspect that a carbed 5.0 into an early Volvo using the Converse kit would be about as starighforward as one could get.
