Hey MikeSVOR I have been watching and waiting patiently like many others for updated pictures on the Volvo head. I keep seeing you stating you will be posting pictures soon. Any chance we can get those pictures or any more specific info on the head modifications such as what holes have to be plugged? Do any need to be drilled or opened up? What about the pulleys system? Any pictures of any of the modifications to the head yet? I now you are still in the middle of the project but do you have any more info you can give us now other than it will bolt on the block?

Any one else have any email addresses or know of any other web sites that have a 2.3 with a Volvo head on it, even if it doesn't have a how to article?

The swap does not intimidate me and I have heard that it has been done. I have all the resources to perform the mods just need a little more info on the swap. I am getting my Volvo head within the next two weeks so I am real anxious to get as much info as I can find.

Thanks!

Mike

The group is called 2300-16V

I'm in the middle of painting my car and have focused all my attention to the body lately.

wow that was the most confusing thing ive ever read... perhaps if they had pics to go along with the instructions it would be better.
