Volvo Head Conversion

[timxr8]

Call John V (JVAB) and get the whole YB, all refreshed and nice, with computer and everything. 3 wires, fuel and you're running. Even has a full 4x4 setup as well. You won't pay as much as you would in Europe also.

But it looks so cool when you pop the hood and you're like ya it's dohc.

A YB is cooler.

And will actually run well...

Need any help on this conversion just ask away
I just finished doing one
Going to dyno next week hopefully.
I didn't weld the head, I bored and sunk soft plugs on the back of the block.

That seems to be the better way to go from what I have observed over the years. Welding the block on the back of the Volvo head may seem like the better way, but many have had trouble with sealing the surface once that is done.

Much easier, welding that much on the head was a real concern. Too much heat.
I have had zero leaks with soft plugs etc.
Will post pics soon
