    info wanted on the dohc volvo head swap

    i figure you need to fab a intake and header to make it fit i could be wroung. The head is off a 1988-90 740 16v B234F. iam gonna see how much a long block is going to cost, iam able to get most parts oem at cost from my step dads work so i hopeing it will be dirt cheap.

    from talking to Fknbadfkr most of that cost is in the intake and header. so if you know how to fab those up your self you will save a great deal.
