The B230ET that was in the 760 was a 170hp engine as stock. Pre 1989 engines have skinny 9mm rods though, and let go around the 300hp mark.

Volvo wagons are "teh w00t". I had this one for a bit, it was waftolicious and I liked it alot! UNfortunately, 'Er Indoors hated with unbridled vitriol, I know not why, and it had to be sold . Also my dad had a 760 Turbo Brick for aages and that too was mega cool. He gave it away to JonCedric but I do not know if it survived.

Well I think Wagoneer "did" it to start with. Then Paul W bought it (I just borrowed it for a couple of days to transport some stuff) , then Tigran grabbed it at the R_R show to get himself home.

It's true what Seth says. I 'did' it having bought it to be a disco hauler. First off, all that nasty plastic trim got junked leaving just the bumpers. Then Rmad and I took the coils to task and binned half of each. The car seemed to have had a re-spray sometime before I got it, but the roof had gone pink and there's no way I'm having pink on any of my cars. That got rattle canned satin black with gold flake (rattle again) over that. The wheels are stock steels, painted one side, I never quite got around to finishing that job.........lower profile tyres finished it off. DIY and kids sucked too much time up so I never welded all the 100+ trim holes up.
Paul Wakeley took it off me, then Tigran, and now tommymanta. I miss it.
