planning (with a help from a few freinds) putting a 2.5 turbo from a focus ST into it, keeping it as a road going car tho, but with forrest arches ect and full interior... hopefully!

zetec turbo, YB, or 24v-s.
for the volvo, its long and tall, hard to mount, also hard to get a gearbox for RWD transplant. lot of unlikely shxt comes up.
my friend doing it in a focus shell, but if he could start again, never go this way he said.

leave that volvo out of the picture, there is a lot of ford engines you could use.
zetec turbo, YB, or 24v-s.

theres a mk1 escort from sweden or norway i belive, and its already has this conversion and its looks the dogs, its a metalic gray colour with bubble arches !!! puts out a healthy 500hp aswell,
uses a bmw m3 zf gearbox, a modded volvo prop mated to a volvo 240 back axel, its a proper bit of kit
arnt these volvo engines ment to be cheaper to tune aswell than the yb ? i duno about work involed in tuning them but im sure there cheaper
nice to see something a bit different to the normal , good on ya and good luck mate look forward to see how this comes out !!

cheers 
seen that mk1 escort in a mag a while back (unfortuanatly cant find it again), thats what sprung to mind when i bought the shell, the engines are cheap to get a hold of compaired to a cossie one... by a good couple grand in some cases, not to mention a more reliable engine that u can get a good deal of power from, and they sound great aswell
