I just want to put it out there that TurboBricks.com is the best volvo forum this side of the motherland (Sweden, and all those sites are in swedish!). Be SURE to check out the forums. Anything and everything you've wanted to know about making your older volvo (pre-95) awesome can be learned there. I owe so much to everyone that's a part of it. My username on there is The Aspirator, by the way.
So much creativity and knowledge gets passed around there, so many interesting ideas and guys willing to try crazy things. Fail or succeed, they post about it, and it helps us all learn. Here are some of the recent posts that I have made:
Meg's new '64 Volvo Amazon.
Fabricating a new intake manifold.
M46 short throw shifters.
Sequential coil-on-plug ignition.
Building a B21 engine from the ground up (old and sold, but still informative).
Building a B23 engine from the ground up (more recent, still using this engine in the 242!).
