I've had your car as my avatar picture forever. I got the pictures of www.volvoadventures.com. It's neat to see some more pics of it. Cool car. But I'm sad that I have to change my avatar.

What he didn't tell you is he has a '67 Amazon under construction in his garage also.

We have been discussing this project recently. Mikey( Volvordan) has a nice B20 engine from a rally car ready to go into it. But my idea is to build an OHC turbo motor sitting upright.
I'm glad to see your photos- it gives us inspiration to proceed.
Congrats on a beautiful car!

DO you have pics on the car or a website? :-P

No pics yet. He is moving soon and will set up in his new garage. I think he wanted to wait until it's finished to post pics.

ever consider putting a b20 in front of an M46 (or just an m46 bellousing & a T5) and making it lean the opposite way?
Would leave lots of room on the passenger side for intake and a true turbo header.
I have pics of a car done this way. Custom oil pan/pickup mods are required.
 
Goddamn! this car is sick! i would really love to see some vids of it in its current state of tune! (read: turbo'd) :) very nice... later,

We have a B20 with Stahl header, R cam, big valve F.I. head. We are thinking that this motor is nice, but a 16V OHC high boost motor is the way to go, like a lot of the Euros. I love the setup with the 16V straight up with custom intake and exhaust.

Post that pic.
 
Pelle- do you have specs or a build sheet on your Venolia pistons? If they make a 16V turbo piston for you (and Ronnie Hilmersson), perhaps we could use it for our project.

Again a beautiful car- I particularly like the wide steel wheels- a nice look.
Cheers!
Mike
 
Pelle, sorry to keep asking (I asked on the AmazonForum, where I mostly just listen)... that motor mount, would that be the same as 544 or 140? It looks very nicely finished... I assume you made it? Would you make more for the right price?

They are not the same, the distance between the mounts on the amazon axle is different then the distance on the 140 axle. Amazon has steel mounts (longer ones) and the 140 uses aluminium ones (shorter ones)

Sorry Pelle,

I meant that in reply to the other poster, who was still debating b20 options vs other OHC options.
No intention to question the quality of engineering of your car, or your choices, at all!!

thanks,
Ian

Great mod to your water pump, I was thinking of doing something similar if I place my turbo there.

It's obvious you have put a TON of work into that thing, it's very impressive! Well done man.
