  11. That blue wagon...the White motors will bolt up to a red engine bell housing?
    If so, that opens the door to some crazy possibilities.

    The last red block engine which was fitted in the Volvo 940 had the right bolt pattern. So you take the tranny and bellhousing from a B23FT " injection and turbo engine" and mount it to the new white block engine. Note that it will only fit on the 4,5 and 6 cylinder engines from Volvo. The new Ford engines, The old mitsubishi engines which was fitted in V40 and the new Yamaha V8s will not fit on that bolt pattern.

    To use the V8 for eg, Theres plenty of custom bellhousings for sale in Sweden that converts the bolt pattern.
