engine exchange?

engine exchange?

2003-05-12 by RockStar30Cars@aol.com

Hello everyone, its been a long time since I have asked a question. I would like to know if any Marcos owner has updated their cars with newer engines such as a late model Volvo or Ford engine (EFI, turbo charged, super charged).

Hi!
Take a look at the Swedish website, some cars has been converted to Volvo Turbo with LOTS of horsepower. Just remember that brakes etc. must be uprated too. Not an easy job to do. It is also possible to get a uprated pushrod Volvo B18, bored up to 2.3 ltr and with heavily ported head that turns out up to 225+hp. Almost as fast as a lightweight tuned Jag E-type on the straights and better cornering capability. It is not so wild that it is impossible to drive on the street, idle is rough though. Take a look at Michael Roysons: wooden wonders website. He knows what it is all about!
Youre welcome
mike
