Forget about the photos, I want to know the line that worked …..

Ok here are a few pic's will post a couple more very soon.

Old guy advice. You want primary reference information on a big thing like this, not sifting through3 facts in 97 posts of untruth. Link to volvo web store https://www.volvopartswebstore.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=236700&ukey_make=865&ukey_model=12011&modelYear=1998&ukey_cat...

I have read general articles of red block making 400 HP with Turbo and excessive fuel to prevent detonation. Not fuel miser, but lots of HP. A 6 speed Tremec trans could probably be installed with ma...

My thought is that 200-250 is max for a ‘daily driver’ NA. You’re up to the bleeding edge of reliability past that.
