Oh it appeals to me but I have enough Volvo's in my life right now and would need to level the front garden to get some parking for a third!
I wouldn't want to "spoil" the Goddess by putting a short block six in her.. although I wonder if you could get the turbos to fit her longer block without butchering the bonnet line?
Anyway just taken my second does of Poison whilst playing Poison from Alice Cooper now for my "normal" medication with my fringers tingling again with nins and peedles it's hard to trype so I must away and get the tyre pressue monitor out for my ambulance  |
That may well be correct on a Volvo Ben. Not on my gold beastie though.
You probably could fit turbos to your existing engine in your 960 but with all the other mods you'd need to make sure it runs right, i doubt it would be a worthwhile conversion. If you'd bought the car with no engine that would be different, just drop a T6 in, sort the exhaust and engine management, enjoy. With your existing engine you'd need to drop the compression ratio a fair bit and possibly alter the engine management.
Have fun inspecting your ambulance, should amuse the crew if nowt else!
