Now that I've got my 1968 Volvo P1800 running and driving, I'm looking ahead to the next motor. I've read everything I can find from John Parker. Bought several parts from him as well. He sells a turnkey 2.3L or 2.5L B20. That is certainly an option but was wondering if anyone has heard of Sten Parner in Sweden. He also sells a rotating assembly, head, cam etc... for a 2.5 stroker but recommends a using a block from 74 -76 year model with 8 bolt crank to flywheel. Are there unforeseen fitment issue using this block rather than rebuilding my 69 B20 engine. You might tell me to stay away from pushing the 69 B20 block that far as I've heard they are not as strong as the latter ones.
I'm just starting to investigate where I want to go in with the drivetrain. Not averse to going with a more modern motor with an overhead cam. Don't mind blower or turbo (what do you guys think about that turbo kit on ebay? Probably a generic setup but wanted your thoughts)
Not looking for a V8. I am looking for minimal cutting, maximum economy with 200+ ponies.
