    The weight is about 900kgs in stock trim and was factory fitted with a 2lt pinto engine, in STD form there realy slow

    But first I need to finish my nitroused 250ci ford cortina

    Sounds like you are trying to show us the way to HotRod a 2.3L ;) You know once you get all that done we require: times slips, video, and pic by pic of what was done :nice:

    That looks like you have a nice project starting. Is that engine a N/A or is it a Turbo block?

    Its an N/A block
    But I always use an N/A block because I never use any of the STD turbo gear

    I will post heaps of pics but that won't be for awhile , I still need to finish my race car

    Hey!!!
    Just on another note ,what kind of volvo head bolts to the 2.3 block???
    As I wouldn't mind having a go at this swap
