so youre going to road race/ auto cross this car, as well as try to drag race with it? i hope you dont plan on using those tires to drag race. thats not a good idea at all. ---

Well so come to find out large amounts of tire spin and boost with a 270k stock engine isn’t the best mix… I spun a bearing in the engine so I’m tearing apart the bigger extra engine I have sitting next to my tool box here are some pics ![http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/6EC9845C.jpg](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/6EC9845C.jpg) ![http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/ED886906.jpg](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/ED886906.jpg) ![http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/39A6F9AC.jpg](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/dom300zx/Snapbucket/39A6F9AC.jpg) I was just going to reseal the oil pan and throw some new cam seals t belt water pump all the basics but decided last minute I’m gonna throw a set of forged rods in the bottom end and fresh bearings so I don’t have to worry about running too much boost and beaning another rod like I did on my first Volvo ---

Finding manual turbo 2/7/900 series volvos is a pain. Could totally find a turbo one in the junkyard and swap the parts over to an NA manual. But as far as I know the manual trans for the redblock likes to explode at around 300whp. Finding this out pushed that project a lot further to the back burner. If its going to need a trans swap to survive what I’d like to do with it, I might as well start with a 960 (which has an auto that’s supposedly pretty durable). ---
