does the 1.8 head fit straight onto a 2.0l bottom? as i have a head lined up from classicswede and it seems the easiest way i can get my volvo running soon again...
many thanks

Yes with the 2.0 head gasket. You will need a 2.0 ECU tho for best results.

Yes. I think it would be. Without actually using a rolling road, you could just use the williams factory maps, which are fairly easily available online. The ECUs are the same, the fueling and ignition data held on the EEPROM is all that varies between the 16v and williams, as far as I know.

Will physically fit however due to coil packs cant be used on an early engine without making your own HT leads.
