As per title, whats the busiest?

I want to source a 2.3 turbo engine/loom/ecu etc etc, possibly a whole car, and need to find one, and a forums usually the best bet!

Any ideas lads

just off the M5, 30mins south of birmingham, but willing to travel for the right price.

been now offered 2 good complete cars for 400each, but dont need the lot, and 400 is still a lot of notes...

Here's a good place to start, since Van Hoof has gone to ground... http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... php?t=4506

Do yerself a favour and get a 940 or late 740 turbo as a loom donor...LH-Jet 2.4 is more responsive to modifications than Motronic, courtesy of having an air mass meter (rather than a flappy paddle thing) and an oxygen sensor.

The VOC (www.volvoclub.org.uk) is the busiest UK site, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Turbobricks is also worth a shout. For RWD stuff, that's about your lot.

cheers

to be honest, im now lacking the space for an extra car, so just an engine is what i want.

and now im thinking i may as well run MS (i hate AFM managment at the best of times!) so all i really need is a turbo long block, no manifolds, no nothing, just an engine to base it on.
