I will say this, Gio_Momma has been building these engines since well, probably some of the people here were born!
I will say this, for this being such an easy and powerful swap I wonder why there are not a bunch running around making 500 horses.
If I want to modify stuff and make power I will just buy an Arca or svo head...
gio_momma said:Well...since TF isn't really TF anymore...this looks like as good a place as any to hang out.
There are more people with 500 horse iron head motors () than 500 horse Volvo-headed deals.
It should be as easy as falling off a log the way it's been described. The original Esslinger headed stock motor in the wagon was about that easy to make 600+ and over 800 once I got the ARCA and figured out what I was doing. Everything (that wasn't from a boneyard) was straight out of the catalog and the first full pull it made over 500 at the wheels.
whoah!!!!! Is that what I conveyed?mr_woodster said:I think Svo1 summed it up, its been obvious for awhile (on multiple boards) that not seeing eye to eye to with gio makes you automaticly "stupid". Some things could be best summed up and answerd without agressive reponses...
If you dont have anything nice to say, dont open your mouth
Its a good principle to live by i find.

Further, just because it can be made to bolt together in some fashion does not make it viable, reliable or worthwile.
You could bolt a T-5 to a Volvo over a weekend with a $50 piece of aluminum and a mill...mounts take an hour or two, tops...or you could even do a whole Volvo drivetrain if you wanted. They have kickass automatics, BTW. Then you might have something that will live longer than a few minutes.
I have news for you spanky...you ain't owning jack when it comes right down to it. You'd have to do something besides flap your gums and tap your keyboard.
Perhaps you might want to try turning some wrenches, making some shavings and see if you can make something that goes fast before you start yapping. Then people might have a reason to respect your opinion.
SVO1 said:when people start spouting that something is "easy" or "everyone is doing it"
and is willing to argue based on no real world experience it gets to be a bit annoying.
Much like a newbie trolling in and asking the same damn questions over and over again. When they listen or honestly try to make a new path to a goal it is great. But when they argue over speculation it grates really thin.

I have turned wrenches. Personally I still think your a ****tard. I stand by that. Not everyone has a mill in their garage. Lack of machines is half the reason people buy the esslinger head. Just because it isnt done much doesnt mean it doesnt work as well or better. Just means people are lazy thats all.
But since TF is down why not go over to SVOCA they seem to be full of pricks just like you.

gio_momma said:C'mon spanky...you still calling me out?
I've been looking for a way to pay for the gas to come out to WFC again...maybe I found it. SFAIK, there's only one 4G63 that's faster than my car...and it ain't no Cordia...not even a real car for that matter
I hope you can make it, would love to see the wagon Run again!gio_momma said:C'mon spanky...you still calling me out?

I will be spending my time on something more useful..

gio_momma said:Sooooo...I take it that means you don't wanna race then? I have it all fueled up and in the trailer...you need some space? How about the go?
Ahhh...just like the old days with the Pinto at the street races...good times...good times.
89Stang said:Which one you wanting a piece of? Cordia? (hopefully finished not a lot of hp just no weight)
Mustang (probably the slowest)
Camaro (its just a 3rd gen)
