There is actually a Forum here on Swedespeed for that,

https://forums.swedespeed.com/forumdisplay.php?33-V8-Conversion-Volvos

But to be honest it is a little bit sleepy, the real source of info for converting all things 200 series to something more permormance oriented, is over on TurboBricks !

The V8 conversion is common, also is ripping out a B230FT from a 940 inter-cooled car, and tuning it to add a few HP's (Boost Control, electronic ignition with dynamic advance-retard etc). It will be PLENTY of power and a more straight forward swap, but not a easy to find in your local pick and pull as a wrecked Mustang.

EDIT,

PS, In what state are you located ?

 

Thanks! And yeah I have been debating on other Volvo swaps as well, or just beefing up this motor. It’s just that if I’m gonna do a swap, I might as well go all out. And the motor in it now is decent, but it’s got quite a few leaks going on and some other issues did have to chase.
