Jim,
Will the exhaust manifold fit inside of the compartment. I was wanting to make an adapter for the intake and put a little Holley 390 on it, but I do not know what the exhaust manifold looks like.

Jim.
I also blew a head gasket with the same description you gave of the gasket. I had hardened seats put in and I am still having the same problem. Have you changed it over to LPG yet I was very interested in this conversion I have heard LPG is about 110 octane.

Pre Detination

I have been fighting pre detination (spark knock) in my 303 all summer. I have made many advancements to fix the problem but I can not get rid of it on warm days. I installed a cold air induction an electric fan with shroud, a cooler thermostat, and I have been running 92 octane it all helped but it...

cross reference list for parts

At one time I found a parts cross reference list on the internet I believe it was started by Vince. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to this location again. Thanks Cole

Intake and exhaust manifold

I recently came accross an intake manifold off of a 164 fuel injected. I was wondering if any one had done a conversion with this manifold over to a down draft conventional style carb. I have not seen what the exhaust manifold looks like. The intake appears to be adaptable. Thanks Cole

Parts for the portal axles

How easy is it to get parts for my 303 axles? Every time I am in the mountains I worry a little bit about breaking parts in the axles. I would like to set my mind at ease and drive a little harder. Any info. Thanks Cole

Question for TiredironGRB. I was looking at you front bumper an I noticed it sticks out a long ways. Have you noticed it limiting you on the steep aproaches? I want to add a winch to the front of mine but I am already hitting my flat front bumper.

electric fan in my 303

I just wanted to let you know about my favorite modification. I placed a 16" electric fan on my 303 and built a custom fiberglass shroud. This modification made a huge difference. It gave me a little more power but the noise inside the cab was greatly reduced. Caution the fan without the shroud...

engine diesels when shut off

I can not get my engine to quit dieseling when I shut it off. I have timed it to several different positions. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be. http://colesvolvo303.4t.com/
