Any help would be great. Looking for carb intake for volvo 2.3 Every find one?? I tried to find one years ago, if I remember right no Volvo sold in in the states ever had a carbed 2.3. They do exist though, some Canadian cars did and I think they made them for marine applications. Again, if I remember right they were kind of spendy.

Again, if I remember right they were kind of spendy. 99.9% of cars seemed to be F/INJ , you can find the carb & intake in a marine application. or be creative and make an adapter to put a carb on the efi intake. I did it in 04' it was ugly but it worked.

Has anyone figured out how to make the stock Volvo electronics handle the stress from being in a derby 78'-86' 2.3's carefully unhook everything when stripping dash, move the grounds the ECM's & module's on the inner fenders can be moved inside to firewall ziptie all the wiring up tight and tape up your fuse panel so none fall out.

My Chevette eng/trans into a volvo i'd used the first 6inches of the 'vette shaft which was just slightly larger than the volvo shaft. took the smaller shaft to a muffler shop and had it stretched to a snug slip fit between the two and weld.
