I am going to start a project to replace the 3L Essex engine and gearbox with a far more modern engine, if anybody has taken on this task and can give some ideas I would very much appreciate it. I am thinking a 2.8L five speed gearbox option. Regards Vic

Vic, You should bear in mind that the Essex engine wasn't restricted by emission controls and, depending on your choice of engine, you could end up with significantly worse performance, especially with a 2.8. Regards, Paul Dransfield 3 litre Volvo

Hey now! My non-emission equipped 2.8 liter does pretty darned good! (Barks second gear every time!). And it's not even really hot-rodded. Yet. ;-) Jeff #8052

Down boy! Down! I made the comment because Vic wants a more modern engine,
which will probably have emission controls. I had a 2.8 litre Ford Capri a
few years ago and it ran like a dog. My brother had a similar car in England
without emission controls and it went like the clappers (it was fast). I
wouldn't want Vic to go to all that trouble and be disappointed with the
result. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with and how it
performs in the end.

Bark.... Bark! ;-) I understand where you're coming from. My engine is out of a 74 Capri (probably close to their pinnacle of performance). After that, they added more and more emissions stuff and got slower and slower. It will indeed be interesting to see what Vic decides. I've though about changing mine out to a V8 myself, but only because the department of motor vehicles was giving me grief over inspecting the darned thing as it is. Jeff #8052
