Which turbo bricks make for a good swap?
Some of you volvo lovers can help me out on this one.
My buddy has a trubo brick wagon. Well the motor has died and hes wanting to get rid of it. I told him that if he was interested he could drop a v8 or some thing into that baby.
Which years bricks are good nad what all could he do with it.
I dont know the year off hand but i do know its boxy, LOL.

Re: Which turbo bricks make for a good swap?
That guy he is speaking of is on here^, he goes by v8brick. If you want to stay Volvo, a desireable block is the 2.3 liter turbo motor from 93+ 940s b/c they have oil squirters in the block. Turbobricks is a great resource though.
