Wondering if you may have some pics for this conversion up as yet?

I am looking at doing an engine swap in my 1800s and the GM 3800 is one engine swap option that I am also considering.

The V8 1800 swap of the future might be the new XC90 4.4 litre (the B444F?) just released in the US... weighing 419 pounds versus the B18 / B20's 370 pounds, the additional weight for the V8's 300 odd BHP out of the box won't be an issue. With its 60 degree V-angle, and at 29.7 inches long and 25 inches wide, it may even squeeze inside an 1800 without chopping things up. For the purists, it would also keep the car all Volvo, too.
