swappedy swap 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be jon on  Tue Apr 2 18:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

what are the possibilities of throwing a B30F(?) from a 70s 164 into a 240 sedan? are my hp figures for the B30 correct [american markets exclude B30E, right]? 69-71: B30A, 145hp; 72: B30A USA, 120hp; 73: B30F, 138hp; 74: B30F, 145hp; 75: B30F, 130hp;

what about performance upgrade possiblities? i know the B20s can be taken pretty far. what about tossing a supercharger into the mix?

sorry these are very vague questions. but im theorizing other ways to a hi-po volvo other than a 4 cylinder turbo. i think if you're going to startle people with a speedy volvo, its more impressive to have muscle (supercharged/modified 3-liter V6) than and four banger under a lot of stress (2L turbo -- sounds so japanese).

what other V6s did volvo come up with? i know there was a 260 series, but i've never seen one in my area except for a 262C. are my figures correct [for 1978 260]? 2.8 Liters? 125 hp?
