Volvo DOHC head on a Ford 2.3

This is more what I had in mind for the white foxbody. The head actually bolts to the 2.3 block w/o any mods to the bolt pattern. You do have to either mod the block or the head for the water passages at the rear of the engine though.
Now that someone has figured out the cam gearing..hmmmmm

why not use the volvo 2.3 16 valve block and head, the castings alone are worth more then a whole ford motor. an oil squiter 2.3 is good till about 525 hp. before the rest of the car falls apart.
