Default Wanted 940 2.3 Turbo Engine Running Gear / Complete Car

Without going into the ins and outs of 'why' (lets just say someone has run off with all my spares and a LOT of money from my drag car project) Im looking for a very cheap way of getting my car up and running.

Ive already annoyed the purists by putting a chevy into a mopar...so thought why not a volvo into a mopar, then use it as a test bed for development etc whilst learning a bit about these engines and then eventually go for a full on 16v conversion etc etc

So....as my car is literally a shell at the minute (due to the above) im looking for a 2.3 turbo red blocked car (with the stronger 13mm rods). Im going to need everything related to the engine/box/wiring/pump/ecu/clocks etc etc....but dont need anything else (interior, wheels, suspension, lights)

If you know of a car as close to South Beds, please let me know, I could well be interested. I have hard standing available so if you have a car that you want to sell but want to keep the bits I dont want, Ive no problems helping strip it at mine, then disposing of the shell for you.

Thanks

Iain

p.s. if you want to see what it will be going in, there should be a link in my profile :-)

If you can find a pre-1984 B23E or ET that has the luxury of a much stronger bottom end ...Forged crankshaft etc ...

And there was me thinking I had finally got to the bottom of the engine classifications / models!!

What model would I find one of these in...as that sounds like a better bet, I WILL be leaning on this, so looking for cheap but strong :-)
