With all the threads about V-8 and V-6 and Ricer motors I was looking at my pictures and found this one. Early fitting of the M41 into V2. Not alot of room. As for power...I just don't get it. Not power, I have plenty of that but why anybody would NOT choose a volvo B-20 for improvement over a B-18 or B16. Without much $$ you can get to 135-150 hp. Which is a substantial increase from stock AND you still have the Volvo reliability. Most here have heard of my mods but a simple head shave of .060, Bored over .030, Isky VV61 "torquer" cam, Lightened Flywheel, Nice SU's, Header, Pertronix, M41, 3.91 rear, Discs all around. Pretty simple stuff and you have enough grunt to impress yourself and your friends. If a nitrous honda slides up next to you at the light, .... wait 40 years .... you'll still be motoring along and the Honda will be recycled into a space ship of some kind. Modification is great but keep it a Volvo! Maybe the new V-8 volvo?
