Thanks Guys for those very interesting replies.

The 1986cc red block has 494000 miles on it. The idea was to retain the original engine block number as I try to keep everything original.

The machine shop has now said, having taken measurements, boring out to 2316cc will compromise the water ways!

So now I must do some more research and try www.hotrod.com >circle track>engine>hotrod>news.

I have read some where that these red blocks can go to 500bhp!!!

I have put a the B230E in the 240 at the moment, but I don't know its history and I don't like that. It does go a lot better than the B200E (it was a tax break in the UK) So this is where I am coming from.

I will get a rebuilt B230E in my Volvo somehow. May be a scrap engine for total rebuild, or a B230E head.....something.

Any Guys Many thanks for helping me on my learning curve.
