If your trying to save cash then you might be interested in some of the following, depending on where you are based:

1. the new "sports cam" and followers that appeared in this ad.
http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...ight=followers

I know it dates back a bit, but I rang Derek in March or April and nearly bought them. From the posts it looks like no enquiries after that. From memory he was asking less than the price of the followers... which you'll end up buying if fitting a new cam. The only problem was guesing what the cam would do as it wasn't a standard D or K. He thought it was aggressive and specialist from Sweden. Other members might have more idea. For the price (and interest !) it might be worth a go.

or a K cam for sale here:

I think I paid Brrokhouse £65 for my D (and a K was the same price). The followers were a hefty price.

2.
Why not rebuld another engine while keeping the car on the road. There's a B20 on ebay that might seem a good starting point:

or tune another head while keeping the car on the road:

3.
Contacting this ad in the 140 section might give you a cheap Simonz exhaust ??? Can a 140 be made to fit onto a 120 ??? I wouldn't know.

I paid £125 for my Simonz from Brookhouse as part of a deal while buying other stuff and sounds like you'll be running up a similar length list. e.g. Are you going to be needing a rear hub-puller, cam followers, steel timing gears to replace the fibre, gasket sets ? Draw up the list and give Brookhouse a ring. Make it clear your doing a project and might be back for more.

I was pleased with the improvement the Simonz gave for the money / ease. (I'm only a daily driver though !)

4. I suspect the SUs might be high up the list ? This add talks about a spare set.. might be worth a call ?
