I'm not even gunna click on it, I remember your forth coming honesty. It was very refreshing! A true community member shares & we all grow from that! Thank you, many would run and hide rather than good naturedly joke about themselves & expand out knowledge.
& Ludwig is right - ur a true scientist - Wrener v B's comment. U get out there and try it and (as a scientist) 'write a journel article' (come here) for peer review! My joke was "2 or 3 reliable folks here'. Most ALL are !!! No sh^tty comments, back bighting, put downs etc. I'm broke & folks helped me rebuild a carb (something I'd never even closely approached) where I could get to my 2 PT MIN. WAGE JOBS & AVOID FORECLOSURE ON THE HOUSE! (o0OOPPps sorry 4 da caps). U C me keep commin back...

I agree, this is the best forum on the internet, hands down. Even as I'm leaving the I6 behind (though I'm keeping my xflow head for another project), I can't see myself hanging out anyone but here.
I saw the joke, but since this was a coolant question, I always like to bring that post up...reminds me of just starting out with the I6.

Yeah, I was. Honestly came down to the economics of getting 300 RWHP out of an engine reliably but I will be covering that in another post once I'm closer to done and see how it actually worked out. It was a tough decision.
Don't worry, I'm still looking for my next project car and trying to find one I can fit another inline into (either ford or volvo).

Thread seems dead - U all set dawnovski? How's she running?
"trying to find one"
no thing (quite) like a 'stang tho.
Guy round here put 1 in a Wolwo (their pronunciation) Bertone. Ever C 1? Looks like a "240/740 era" sedan w/a chopped roof (that's covered in vinyl a' la the psydo-convertables of the '70s & '80s) with a nice emblem (may be Farrari or some 1 who designed the body style) where an opera window would be...
He's a mechanic from Boston (Porche, Farrari, McLearin, etc) who came out and owns a big shop (10 bays) and sales dealership. Has stock cars and other goodies. Interesting guy.

Let's keep on track with water in the exhast for dawnovski.
I'd be pretty sure you've sorted the details out. Mine did that.
The hole for the Aussie 2v head is different to our 64.5-73 and 79-82 I6 Mustangs, and the stock US sensor won't fit the smaller Aussie hole. I'll check with the instrument technician on the voltage scale, I think it can work with the earlier temperature gages if there is a variable resister bridge set up. I have the same problem with my 81 Stang, the 1968 to 1992 over head valve Australian sensor earlier set up won't work with the stock Fox body gage.
{Ford OZ re-engineered lots of I6 components in 1968 (bigger valve guides, pushrods, rocker gear, Bosch distributor, Borg Warner transmission, Volvo/260-289 five bolt flywheel, engine deck height) when meeting the 85% local content rules when Jap cars started flooding into Austalia in 1962. Instead of becoming a Compleatly Knocked Down Detriot or Hiroshima assembly plant, the Aussies wisely made any locally assembled or locally made Jap or American or Australian cars have 85% Aussie parts by complementation. So you could have 95% Aussie Falcon 6's with 65% Aussie V8's with 100% American engines and transmissions, as long as all 65 000 Falcons in that year were above 85% in general. Holden used to import whole 1900 Opel Engines with Philipines four speed gearboxes on all i4 and some L6 engines from 1976-1981, which had about 80% local content, but the whole line of Toranas were over 90% on average for the 15 000 cars per year they turned out}
(For our Ovlov Lovers, see these links for Bertone Ovolvs for shorter people. The convertable conversion fixed the wickedly tuncated 262b from its desire to crick the neck of any over 6 foot European. Even if it does look like a Mobile Spa Bath/Hot Tub...The 780 (last pic) was well sorted, but just ended up lookin as plain as any Toyota Solara. In the staurated big car market of the 80's, these cars didn't sell like big two doors likethe Olds Cutlass and Chev Montecarlo did. Perhaps if the Europeans actually did make them a speciliased body style like all the two door US intermediates were, they'd have sold the pants off 'em.
Any Volvo needs to be chopped and channelled like a 49 Merc before it really gets cool, the 780 and T5's were certainly a step in the right direction.

Kouwell!
I love pic.
That black 1 looks like his (only 1 I ever saw in USA) but the top is covered in vinyl. Think it's original? I do, but may B not.
Forgot to say "it's 2 door" but that's what I meant by 'sedan'. Again, he did what Slade wants to do - a V8.
My 240 GL was called "the flying brick" around here (6 cyl).

For me, it was Volvo who reinvented turbocharging, not Saab or Porsche or Buick. The idea of slapping a hair drier on a Flying Block of Flats more or less made Volvo an overnight sensation with the Volvo 244 and 242 Turbo and 242/244 GLT Turbo 2.1 Turbo 1980 - 1982. And then in 1983, a sporting evolution verision, the 240 Turbo with a larger turbocharger and other performance modifications. All of these special cars were reputedly exported to the United States. Most of them were subsequently stripped of their racing equipment and sold as standard road cars, which later led Volvo into difficulties with the sport's governing body, the FIA, which questioned whether the necessary 500 cars had in fact been built. Debate continues to this day among enthusiasts about how many of the special-edition cars were built and what happened to them.
It wasn't well publicised like the 242 GT, but when raced in Asia, Europe and Australia and new Zealand, it ended up in front of Turbo Merkurs and V8 Mustangs and M3 BMW's...racing was stood on its ear.The Eggenberger Motorsport team was the most successful of these. One of their cars, driven by Gianfranco Brancatelli and Thomas Lindstrom, won the 1985 European Touring Car Championship outright!
Then an Australian Dealer Team car driven by the New Zealander Robbie Francevic won the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship and the Wellington 500 street race in New Zealand. The car also won the Guia Race in Macau consecutively in 1985 and 1986. Volvo withdrew from the sport at the end of the 1986 season, partly because of the controversy over its adherence to the rules, but also because the 240 had achieved what it set out to do..
