Engine questions
my best guess would be almost ne engine you want. most volvos have big engine bays. for example, i have a 1991 240. my b230f 4 cylinder fits in with room to spare. i have even seen a book that is specific to the 240 model that tells how to convert the car to a chevy v8. thats how much space there is. i am not very familiar with the 260 series. what little i know is that they were manufactured for a short time with the 240 series. for this reason, id guess you have room for expansion in there. hope this answers your question. if i ever find out more i can let you know...mike

Just out of curosity, what is the newest volvo engine I could put into a 78 262c?. At the present I have a B280 sitting under the hood. Runs okay, but am looking for a new engine. Thanks.

It will take a lot of money to install a newer motor in there.You will need the wiring harnesses,computers,Transmission,Mounts,ETC

RE: Engine questions
okay i cant seem to find my engine number, even after scanning through my engine for maybe half an hour. I checked the manual and they gave me four options and i have narrowed it down to 2 based the output i feel my car gives. does anyone know if a 1999 s70 GLT have a B5234 T3 or B5234T8? i know both of these are 2.3 liters and thats all i need because im going to get both intake and air filter from K&N but i wuld like to actually know what is in my engine besides the DOHC/5 inline/turbo part.

RE: Engine questions
I saw a 240 dl wagon that had a mustang cobra motor in it. Supposedly there is a kit for that. It was sweet. looked completely stock from the outside, and rumbled like hell when he fired it up. The guys at my local NAPA tell me an older man is driving a 740 wagon that has an LT1. The older man asked the guy at NAPA to look at someting in the bay and didn't even know that was in there. He said " I thought it was quite fast for a volvo". Man I want that car. How do you not notice that there is an LT1 under the hood. I have still yet to see it.
