Well, the car Dana had was sandwiched between two others. Can't fault the
B series for that. I think the B20 series engine was a heavy bugger. I've
replaced a couple of them in real Volvos (non-Rootes types) and they are a
handfull. Something about the iron heads on them you know. It is a good
strong engine though... And did any one ever lose second gear in a Volvo
trnsmission?
