PPC
Anyone seen the Volvo feature in the new PPC?
I love that engine, and now I want one. Not for anything in particular, they just look superb. I may just chunk that zetec.. STOP IT!!!
IMHO you cannot whack a decent straight 6 and that one looks like one of the best. All alloy construction and only 4 inches longer than a 4 pot.
Don't suppose anyone's got a one lying around they don't want??

even more incredible is the new 320 hp six thats no longer than the 5 cyl .

So do you use the Volvo gear box as well and if so how well does it fit in a standard locost?

std manual gearbox is a bit wide and rare , adapter plates for bmw getrag are £130 , and cossie (t5) adapters are on the way .
you should treat it as a T5 conversion except it has an extra cylinder , since its the same engine with subtle differences .
im wanting about £2k for a built 2.8 litre turbo 6 .
you could use the auto box and build a control box to use flappy paddles to control since its the same box in the Supra .

I have a manual Supra 5 speed gearbox. Is the bellhousing the same pattern as the Volvo?
 
Description
I wouldn't have thought so, so I will be amazed if it is!

no its not the same , the manual box is volvos own box , the automatic which most came with have the aw34 or something of that nature - its the same
box in the auto supras and pickups .
im sure you can get an adapter plate for the supra box too - dellow in australia for a start - or just make you own .
