Post by Jim LaGuardia »

Guys, finished building Ricks new modded engine and thought I'd share a few pics.

Jim,
It looks great!!! To what extent are the mods likely to benefit? Are you going to do any formal testing?

Cheers,
Greg

Greg, early engines had a 1 barrel carb with #3 cam.
This cam is great for top end power, but lacks in the low and mid-range rpms.
Going to the #5 cam you improve the power curve from idle to full out and with the forged pistons, the engine can operate well past the factory 4500rpm redline :twisted:

To make up for the extra few cc's , slightly higher compression pistons and decked heads, the carb has also been modded internally.
Venturies are upsized from 32-22 sleeves to 32-24mm sleeves to increase airflow , carbs are also re-jetted .

End result is at least 8-10hp gain.
The final results will be gauged by the size of Ricks smile after his test drive :lol:
now back to the albatross.................................................. :)
Cheers, Jim LaGuardia

I take it the albatross is my Volvo :shock: . I saw the reply to your question on the Yahoo group, but if it wasn't helpful, you might try posting to the Volvo forum on this site as well.

Cheers,
Greg
