Nice project..

Post by Fuse » 06 Nov 2004 09:18 pm

One guy here is fitting a 24 valve six cylinder engine from a 960/S90 to a -83 360 GLT. He is also going to put a turbo in it.. :D Or two because he already has twinturbo manifolds from S80T6. Might be an interesting project. There will be some pics in his pages when he gets the project started.

That's his page (in finnish) but no info of 360 yet. (Except some pics) Nice pics of the engines and various parts though. ;)

As with the B30 project, I think it'll need major surgery to make it fit....like a firewall chop. It might be possible, as the B6304 is quite compact. Maybe shifting the radiator and front crossmember forward slightly would be enough? I know the T5 motor will very nearly fit, and the 6cyl doesn't add much more.

The port sizes are supposedly different, so the T6 manifold won't fit the original B6304 head. Solution - fit the T6 head too.

I'd still rather fit a B280...and you can get '24v' heads and turbo kits for those too...

cheers
