Which Year Volvo Red Block

Those are the only factory 16" wheels that are relatively easy to find and fit RWD Volvos without modifications.



There is a US market DOHC engine, it is N/A and has a funky block with weird engine mounts and balance shafts. Its better to put that head on a regular volvo engine if you want to use it. There was not a DOHC turbo engine in the US so you have to adapt something to mount a turbo to the head.

True... the DOHC in the U.S. is hard to find and sounds worse than buying a regular B230 and finding DOHC cams and adapting them.
 
The 8V / 16V cams don't swap back and forth.

Thanks for telling me. I plan to swap an engine into a Volvo 122 and the redblock seems like the best option but If I'm going to swap an engine I want it to making more than 200hp because the B18 comes stock with I believe is 110-118hp.

closer to 80-90 out of a b18
 
They are super light with gears that are great for 1/8th mile drags. In stock form they actually do pretty good on the 1/8th for a 4 cyl 50 year old car.
 
He doesn't know that and it has been on craigslist for over a month.

Be fair. 88 is LIKELY small mains and tiny 9mm rods..Small mains were 55mm dia. Later---and earlier were like 62.5mm...and the later B230 blocks got not big rods--it is absurd to call them that, rediculous actually but "less spastacularly scary" little rods...
If you want to beat him down mention its the small main/small rod.

But be a human, what goes around and all that--

Somebody had to pull it. That's worth something---the 5 speed is worth something.

Greed comes home to roost and its the stingy man who pays the most.
