I have a B5254T engine I just took out of my son's 1999 S70 AWD because it has a cylinder with very low compression. I'm putting in another engine I got from the scrap yard so I'm getting a bad B5254T for free to play with...
I'm a little bored with my current B230FT +16V setup and I would like to keep a Volvo engine under the hood.
Anyone here built a forged Whiteblock? I looked at these Darton sleeves and they are pretty neat and good for 800+ Hp with other supporting hardware like forged pistons and rods.
What is the best source for forged Whiteblock parts? Custom intake? Custom headers?
I would like to keep the VVT system so I know I'll have to upgrade my MS2 to the MS3 to make use of the system.
Tranny would probably be a TKO500 ou 600 since I don't think a WC T5 can handle that kind of power without some major internal massaging.
