Hey and thanks for checking out my post. About 5 years ago I posted my failed-attempt at getting an old 262c Bertone back to life (http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/617950/220/240/260/280/need_help_bertone.html) for those interested.

Well here I am, back again but with a different goal for this car in mind. Myself and others are now wondering about different types of engine conversions which are (i hate to say) relatively easy and straight forward. We were almost sold on a v8 conversion, but ran into too many logistical snags. We have since been keen on the idea of dropping in a straight 4 w/o the turbo, havent decided yet.
In short, does anyone have any experience in this area? I'm fairly versed in the dynamics of engine swaps, although I've yet to attempt one myself.
Thanks for all your time and happy driving! -John, AL
