Post by **Carl** » 23 Apr 2007 11:46 pm

£10 is what I paid for it, so how does that sound?

I'd be up for the exhaust to torque tube mounts if you're prepared to pop them in the post (UK address) ...

Indeed you did AMR, but I'm not out to make money from you guys - I just want what I got back what I paid for most of it!! Don't suppose you want a nice 531 head to go with that?

trabitom - yeah I can certainly stick them in the post. Fiver sound ok?

Chris - I hope you're watching this, I've got loads of stuff for you that I'll need to shift soon as I need the garage to put a car in

That's fine! Just drop me a PM with your address so I can send you a cheque (or PayPal if you prefer)

If AMR isn't bothered, I'd like the 531. It only really goes on a 2.3...

cheers

Tom - PM'd

I'd rather the engine went as a whole, but if someone just wants the head, that's perfectly doable.

hmmm might have to help myself to the whole engine as well lol

how easy would it be to fit the engine? any other bits required? what kind of power is it producing and what improvement would the k cam give to it?

Post by **Carl** » 24 Apr 2007 09:16 pm

The engine simply bolts up to the 360 clutch housing. You'll need a few bits off the 360 B200E to make it fit properly though, but obviously these can be scavenged from the engine being removed. It'll probably just about run on the 360's ECU, but it wont work very well. So you either need the loom/ECU from a 940, Megasquirt or some big carbs.

I was going with the carb option for the old school charm of them - but thats pricey (one of the reason I decided to sell on the car). MS is the ideal choice if you're handy with electronics though.

The VX3 cam that the should be in the head already is fairly lairy (by Volvo standards), although not quite up there with the 'k'. However, the dizzy works in a different way on the later engines - as it's on the end of the cam, rather than taking it's drive from the intermediate shaft. The cams are still interchangeable but you may need to swap the whole distributor over too. Something worth thinking about when you're considering fueling options!

As for power - in the 940 they put out about 130bhp and a fair wedge of torque - should make a noticeable difference in a 360. But to extract the full potential you need to go with the aftermarket fueling. I was aiming for around 160-170bhp on twin 45s.

Whoops! Carl - haven't got round to sending a cheque yet, will make sure I do before Chris gets the parts off you

Post by **Carl** » 24 Apr 2007 09:52 pm

That's ok, I think I can trust you
