Remember a guy from here years back that went by Mailman? Had a 5.0 Volvo swap. Super cool guy and turned out some nice old cars.

You can find them in junk yard all day long and a shipped running one isn't too bad in price either. If I could lift an entire motor it would be only 54.99 July 17th at Pull and Pay.

The head is at the machine shop for a little bath, valve check and resurface. They said they can put larger valves in but I must restrain myself. A junkyard is motor is cheaper to buy than some more cfms.
Joe
530 lbs motor, I wonder what the steriod cost to value ratio would be?
Joe
Can 2 people carry it out?

Maybe, I'll have to look into it.
Joe
Looks like 2 people would be 54.99 x 2 plus core charge.
Joe
Took the Cam out and sent it to get resurfaced and checked.
I got it back today.
I ended up putting the cam back in and getting the Brick on ramps. I'll install the new head gasket soon. If all goes well then I'll pay 10 dollars for a new chip to get burnt with 2 less degrees of timing.

I wish I had your motivation!!!

I got it running tonight. I did a compression test from front to back cylinders. 105, 118, 133 & 135 cold. I shot some oil in first cylinder and it went to 116. I'll just drive it and probably grab another short block for it.

Good to hear some progress is being made Joe.

1991 Mini Tubed Mustang Coupe, in the works.
351W base, PG, Stock Suspension chassis
I wanted it running over the weekend but between a late postal arrival and then needing a new valve cover gasket because the one I was going to reuse fell apart before I even tried putting it on pushed it back a few more days. I need to adjust the idle and I should be good to drive it.

Which Volvo head was they swapping onto the Ford 2.3?

It flows a ton more Cfm. It takes a pretty modified 8v volvo head to come close and the head I'm using now only flows half as much. Thinking about building a ford 2.3?
