and how the car will handle on the road with this modification?

if you READ my post correctly is was done as a what if thing
i did say that there was no way you could drive this
tbh i did expect some one to say this

Let him off bud, he's Lithuanian

Sorry , my mistake
I've missed that line of what if...

and what do have in mind by that?

I mean he should go easy on you as you may not understand his original post.

I understand everything, it's just my bad that i took a quick look at this thread

Fair enough, I'll be sure not to defend anyone in future

rigth fellas little update thought id let you know its not forgoten just rapped up nicely out the way
at the moment student money wont allow car building and the fact my garage has fell down well we've had it 20+yrs and it was old site huts before that not bad for wood i spouse
but anyway volvo wise the bmw engine is gone (stupid idea) it would off messed up the handling to much and a replacement is planned and lots more little things that i dont want to say before i start building as its all very much in the air design wise, but it will be diesel thats all i can say
thanks for your penitence

Sweet. Black muck ftw

Glad to see ze Germans have been sent packing! Just kidding...looked interesting!

VW 1.9? Solid engine...that mated to a 360 drivetrain (easy install) should be pretty solid, and they make lots of power easily.

Which engine is this? The one found in mid 90s passats?

No, it doesn't...sorry...wasn't too clear on that point...you'd need to make an adaptor. But the 360 drivetrain would take the torques one of those things delivers (in vaguely stock form, anyway). A bellhousing adaptor is a lot less radical than shoehorning in a different drivetrain.

The engine in question is fitted to almost everything they made between about 1993 and...er...last year? Older ones have less electronics. They're hilariously tiny...here's one in a 240...
