Then you will have the electrics to master ,injection system etc.

I've already got 2 v8 trucks, and the ford v6 is a bit common. Part of the thought of it is to have something a bit different.
Besides, if I wanted to tune a v8 to a similar sort of power to the volvo 6, I'd still have to spend £££ I've just rebuilt a relatively stock 3.9 and that cost enough.

my dad fitted a 3litre straight 6 (overhead come sidevalve) into his old landy (swb that i "think" was a Series1) back when i was about 10 or 11,  going by memory i think he swapped the radiator for one from a Vanguard and lifted the bonnet a touch...

i've no idea if he had to do anything else as it was 40 or more years ago, all i do know is it sounded great on a straight thru exhaust  :twisted:
