Pardon my lack of knowledge, but I have never owned a Volvo. A buddy of mine has this 780 that probably has a busted block. I think one of his sons let it run out of oil. My question is, I heard that this 4 cyl block might be the same for numerous cars, maybe even some Fords. I think the engine code is B230FT (2316 cc/2.3L Turbo). At this point I am assuming that IF I can get a used block, that I could get this back on the road without too much effort or $$$s. Or, if I wanted to do it right, get a rebuilt short block, with all the new lower half parts. How interchangable are these 2316cc blocks? Is there somewhere that gives a list on what is "swap-able"? I have used "automotiveforums.com" numerous times for my '95 Suburban and a couple of other cars, and have been thrilled with the responses and results. If anyone has any advise about this project, I would be very gratefull. Thanks in advance.
