I have an SVO engine that I was planning to swap into a 4cyl mustang that I have. The car is very rusty and I’m kind of losing interest in the swap do to the poor condition of the car. I recently purchased a 1969 142 that’s an automatic and is in really good shape. I was looking into converting it to manual trans because I can’t stand automatic. I started looking on eBay for all the parts needed and I started thinking...would it be possible to swap the 2.3 into the Volvo? Am I crazy? I started reading about the similarities between the two engines but googled the swap and nothing comes up. I know a lot of SVO guys do the Volvo head swap. Looking for opinions on this swap. Should I just piece together the parts for a manual trans swap or should I get crazy?
