Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME???
If you can really get that kind of a power boost for 1500, you WILL be hearing from me in 6 months, guaranteed. Let me get my turbo project finished up, and I will start saving up the cash. Holy crap that's gt killer potential right there. I'd make ricers eat their stick on roof scoops.
 
ill check my PM soon.. as for the HP. back over a yr ago i chatted with 8 of the 12 (at that time) runnign Volvo head cars. like i said the lowest i heard was 320 HP and 4 more in the high 300 range. 3 in the mid 400HP range and one low 500HP...now Phil came out and busted them all down with his 720 dyno burn out HP..lol
 
I'd bet you would be extrememy pleased with the results of the head on a n/a engine.
Ive always kept the volvo head swap idea in the back of my mind incase I ever pick up a 2.3L again. What year and model cars do you find the head on?
 
well finaly i was able to do a lil more to my whip yo. (Thnkyou to 40Bob) I bought an intake since i cant make anything for a while and now i need to it some where so i can finish the IC pipes,fuel lines,regulator,upper radiator hose,lower hose,and lil details then ill be ready to run..YAY..sux my dad will be in town from Kansas next weekend and i think ill be too taxed for cash this weekend to do much anyways enjoy and laugh at my aging out dated now project...........Hal

Its an aluminum head.... The ignition is stock Dizzy with Accel wires, i bought the 8.8 custom fit and can make two sets from the V8 kit. they fit under the stock wire cover and run behind teh head under the intake so noone has to see them. very smooth and clean install..........Hal
