The situation at the moment is this:
My dad has two engines:
1) 302 cleveland pulled from zk fairlane with 4bbl
2) 302 winsor 5.0L HO crate engine from USA never started (1995)
For some wacky reason he IS going to put a V8 in his 1985 volvo 860 turbo.
Which engine do people recommend we use for this project. Ive told him gas would be the best way due to compliance issues (QLD). If we got computer/harness, all accessories, high pressure pumps, cats etc do people think the 5.0 will be legal? The problem here is expense as he also has a 1928 model A hotrod happening (has been for over five years now, and nowhere near complete).
Im thinking use the old cleveland with a mild rebuild and gas. For this what do people recommend when it comes to gas setup/brand, cam and compression ratio for gas ONLY?
I would have to get him a hat for the backseat and bloody volvo driver sticker for the back, lol.
Thanks,
Pete
