Volvo Head Swap?

[Dspec_S550]

I have seen in the past a head swap being done to a 2.3 SVO engine from the fox, got a twin cam volvo 740/940 head. Has anyone compared the head gaskets, or have any measurements for the bore-spacing. Im hoping its not even close, so I can stop researching it. lol.

If you want to say its dumb, or waste of time/money, please dont comment. I'm not even saying I would do it, but curious if it could be.

Two links below if you want to read up on some wacky backyard engineering.

also, I can see its belt drive. not really an issue if you were doing all of this shite anyway.

nevermind, I kinda forgot about the DI system, that might be hard to retrofit to a port injected head. that might be a bit harder.

I'd agree that would be bit harder

Its not even close-

The only head swap I know of that takes as much modifying as that old 2.3 Folvo- use the 2.0L head for the N/A Evoque. You will have individual exhaust ports for custom turbo manifold. It requires lots of modification, but if you are up for the challenge.

MAP has an individual port European headswap available now.

Yea I found a couple euro heads on there also. I wanna know if the car sounds any different running an individual port head and manifold.

 

[Dspec_S550]

i think it would. I know its a big wtf "why", turbo delete, itb's and high-compression, increase the bore, cams, with direct injection with the factory management, could be pretty unique. It would only make sense if you could get 315hp/315tq, but I dont think that torque number would be attainable naturally aspirated...

 

[Witj85]

I would still run a turbo with that head.. Itbs would be nice with an open plenum, like an rb26 setup.

It would be nice to hear an individual port head turbo running.
