Not sure about the Fords. I know the redblock is a pretty reliable motor if taken care of. The turbos have beefier rods/lower compression than the non-turbos.(in case someone wanted to sell you a nonturbo). There is a guy at the Volvo dealership in St. Louis who has pretty good prices. He may know where a good deal on a motor is. Too expensive if you buy from Volvo. Richard in parts-800-844-9502

You might post this question over at brickboard in the 700 forum.
