Volvo engine anyone?

Found this on eBay but it might be a little pricey for the engine!!

hate to say it but it would be a crime to buy that just for the engine, they are really rare now

Same guy also flogging a nice XJS. Lot of car for not a lot of money...

There is a guy in the us selling a disassembled PRV on about 4 pallets (probably complete) for only $1500 if anyone is interested.

I believe Mr Monk purchased a mint 262 coupe to rape and pillage it a few years back, I don't think he had the heart to tell the proud owner that he was going to tear apart his pride and joy but I know he sold the body on after. From memory it was a lot cheaper than this one.

I paid 270 for my latest 760 and got most of that back by breaking the rest of it. Someone even paid over 70 quid for the 2 front seats

Dan are you swapping you engine or did you buy a DeLorean without an engine?

My D has an engine, but I might swap it out for the 760 engine anyway as they make more HP than the stock D engine. Even if I keep the stock engine I will swap the fueling out for the volvo stuff anyway as I did on my old delorean. Less stuff to go wrong, and more power

On the topic of engine swaps, found out today that the extremely rare Talbot Tagora had a PRV unit - but it was a 2.7 running two triple barrel Weber carbs, putting out 166bhp.

So dare I say it, but for those running stock setups these days who are finding Volvo fuelling hard to come by - maybe ditching the K jet and doing a Bill Robertson on it may not be such a bad idea?! Get that lot on a B28 with a stainless exhaust and you'd imagine 170bhp+ should be on the cards.

Appreciate this post is dangerously close to trolling - so by all means fire away

Ugly though isn't it
