Found one.

Yeah.. The engine looks like 2 x b18, but it's not exactly that.
The engine block is not screwed together.. It is a 90 degree v8.

I would not put a non-volvo engine in my volvo, but a volvo v8 would be nice!

I figure out that buying this engine + buying a 265GLT (to get the 260 suspension components, etc) + rebuilding to injection would cost the same as a new b6304f. I would then have the only engine like it in the world!

I know I can use Volvo Penta parts (boat engines) if I want to tune it, but I guess I would buy some injection that can be computer controlled.
My gain would be 220hp+. Maybe put on turbo in the future, but I dont really like the way you have to treat a turbo.. That you have to let it warm up and cool down. I like going into the car, drive, and go out of the car.

If I had the V8, it would make niiice sound! I've heard it makes a more sexy sound that american v8's, because the way the block is made (not screwed together).
