Volvo straight 6 conversion

Lucy1978:
Does anyone know of anyone who's used the Volvo 3l straight 6 in a landy? I have access to one with an auto box for the cost of collecting it, thinking of trying to shove it in an 88". Any thoughts?

Frankie-Boy:

Don't see why it couldn't be done, you can shoehorn a V8 into one ok.

Lucy1978:
Anythign CAN be done, I'm wondering if anyone's tried it, it's always good to learn from other peoples mistakes

discowoman:
well going by the straight 6 land rover used to put in the 109, I think the bulkhead needs a little 'massaging' and maybe the rad needs to be moved forward - other than that its the same as any other engine swap - change mounts and wiring, and sort out gearbox connections etc.

bogie:
It may go well but a waste of time,if you want power do a v8 or ford v6,the parts are cheaply available than going the volvo way where a converstion plate is going to be at least £400 and parts will not be cheap. Then you will have the electrics to master ,injection system etc.
