we thought we had fixed the b19a from the 360, as it started and we fixed a leak in the radiator.

after refitting, alexander misplaced a part for the cooling hose.
so I (olav alexander), suggested that we would fabricate something from his shared-basement.

Cheers Adam thanx :-)

I found this guy stopped at a highway and I helped him out.. he said he would junk the car, so I ...

oh, crap
that makes our 3hr limit very exposed for failure

Oilpan and pump....that's about it I'd say. I'm very surprised that the exhaust manifold is different - I thought Volvo only had one design of NA 8v exhaust manifold.

cheers

which pump is this?
we are renting a garage tomorrow and we want to make all preperations, as it costs per hour ...

Hi,

What parts differ from the b19a, which the 360 has, vs. the b19a from the 240?

I heard rumors that the oilpan might be different?
Also, I can cleary see that the exhaust manifoils are not the same.

Are there other concers, regarding this swap?

You still can't fit a B6304 in a 300 without major surgery! Are you sure its only 4" longer?! The 5-cyl, I can believe...but the 6? Crikey! I agree its a great engine, although early examples were plagued by reliablility problems. Get one that's 95-on, and you'll be absolutely fine.

A 5-cyl ...

Is 360hp a steep target? Yes, but considering the honda s2000 is pulling about 110hp per liter without a turbo thanks to their VTEC system and i have a better system in mind its definately not impossible.

HP is not all! NM is how strong the engine is..
If you have an engine with very much NM, you ...

Why not use a Rover 3.5 V8 (if you could get
one to fit) :o
You wouldnt even need to change ECU wiring loom etc, as the Rover engine has LE Jetronic
(same as 360 GLT)
They have 190bhp as stock, and with a bit of tuning 250bhp isnt unreasonable.

Hi,

I just have some words for some of your thoughts here:

First of all, b6304 is not V6! It's an INLINE6! eg. all cylinders in one row!
Second of all, b27-b280 is a V6. It's also known as PRV6, since it was a joint venture of Peugot, Renault and Volvo.

The b27-b280 is not so good! There is a lot ...
