The ones in the 760 turbo - any good? based on the B series? Whatabout the ones in the 850 and similar tanks? And can they be RWD'd easy enough?
No particular reason for asking... Just got to be tossing a "wonder what if" idea about
;D

760 four pot is what i'm sticking in my tina at the moment. Supposed to be good for 180 brake. They are a heavy engine but not much worse than a pinto. The t5 engines can be turned around using a straight six manual box, if you can find one.

The redblock is what you want for cheap easy power. Wouldn't put one in a really light car because they're really heavy, but a 360 is only 1100kgs and doesn't feel unbalanced or owt. If you're using a T5 for RWD you'll need a straight 6 sump and pickup, cut down a bit as the 5 is just a 6 with a cylinder lopped off to fit transverse layouts. Hope that helps.

180 sounds quite low for a 740, considering Volvo sold kits to convert an amazon/140 B20 pushrod into a 180BHP NA beast! I have heard of 500+ from a turbo lump, but never really looked into it to know how driveable/expensive/doable it is.

180bhp for 740's, but then less and less (160bhp odd) for later 700 and 900 series cars as they added emissions controls. Any of them are very easy to get over 200bhp, with hardly any modifications. Around 300bhp comes without opening the engine (just turbo, injectors, ECU etc). Beyond that, 500bhp is possible but expect lots of engine work. Even with 'only' 180bhp they make remarkably impressive progress. Everything you need to know is on the US Turbobricks forum, but note that they used different engine managment systems in the US for some models.
