Attaboy welcome to the new TB.
Good point. To the OP, if you like your Volvo then do what you think fits your lifestyle to get it back running properly with more HP that you desire.
Logically, by the time you convert any engine and/or rebuild one you could have purchased a decent used newer Volvo (or other) from the mid-2000s. So it is a labor of love/hobby etc more for personal fulfillment than economic reasoning.
Have fun with it whichever way you see fit within your real capabilities given tools/money/time constraints.
two for one 7/9 crush will make my day OP

Why buy an engine in the junkyard when you can get an orphaned 7-9 for free?
Turn up the wick and have a double header crush-0-rama.
Ford Barra?
Probably wouldn't fit but supposedly it's a great engine.

2JZ would be awesome, but would take a lot more work.
It would not take any more work than doing a volvo 5/6 or gm v8. I'd avoid doing Volvo 5/6 unless you plan to build the engine and if you've got the coin to do that, you might as well go v8.
I thought about it, but in my area there arent many that are wrecked in the rear or something
I'm talking about a running and driving 7-9 turbo car for snot cheap.
Just a lot of 960s.
Might be similar to my area where you just don't find them. When I bought my 740, it was the only one listed ANYWHERE in the Charlotte area. There are some 940s floating around, but rarely under $1k or turbo. Just a lot of 960s.
Charlotte knows 960 luxury.

EXACTLY. Nashville hipsters have bought them all up and want 5k for a clapped out 240
Gonna be more than that for the swap even figuring your time @ 17? / hr.
$1K and you're complaining?

Wave 5 benjies under his nose and leave with the whole kit-n-caboodle.
<s>You could even part it out.</s>
Well no actually you couldn't make any money that way, but on the bright side scrap's coming up again.
FTFU
