    Ahhh the ol' B234F head :)
    I still have intake flanges laying around for those heads.
    That isn't one of my exhaust flanges is it? Looks very familar...

    I've made intakes for those combos before but I've never actually seen one together.
    Those are pretty awesome heads.

    How much machining was involved into getting the volvo head onto the 2.3 engine??? Mind if i ask how much it cost, or would cost to get a head machined to fit??

    How the hell do you get a Volvo head on a Ford engine? I've never heard of that before. Which head, specifically (any part numbers?) What Volvos came with that head? How does it flow compared to a stock or Esslinger head for the 2.3? What was involved in making it work on the Ford motor?
