Will do. Are you in a rush, or do I have a couple of days to organize and write it up?

First thing I suggest is that you take a good look at Charlie's (Kentucky's) advice and decide how far you want to go with your engine. Heads are easy, I've done a few recently. It has been a very long time since I have done the lower-end and pistons/rings on an engine (a Chrysler/Plymouth 440), but it was not anything even close to easy. Unless really trashed, the bottom-end of a Volvo should run nearly forever. Maybe not as smoothly as when it was new, but reliably and long.
