Hi there, was this broken in the end or is it still living? I’m interested in the engine.
Thanks |

Having seen your post in the wanted section, i thought it might be useful to point out this is the later,B280E - not the odd-fire version so things like the distributor etc are in different places, also not sure if the exhaust manifolds will fit from yours either. I know Volvo changed the heads a fair bit (not to mention most of the rest of the engine!) when they brought the original PRV up to normal Volvo standards so there's a possibility they won't.

As Dave has pointed out, this is the wrong type of PRV for you. You need a B28, not a B280. Try asking on the 200 section as well.

I know the Pug 604 used an almost identical drivetrain to the 264 and if memory serves, they also made a 505 V6 which might improve your chances.

But all of these cars are incredibly rare now. I think your best bet is a 760 82-85 beaker. |

As for the 604, i'm fairly sure it was available up to about 1982 in the UK with the V6, as was the 505 STi i'm fairly sure. Also got a funny feeling the R25 used a smaller version of it, about 2.5 litre similar to the Alpine A610 turbo - might be slightly wrong on some of these, was a long time ago when i last needed to know these things! Whether any of those options would be suitable for the odd-fire 1982 on engine, i'm not sure. Just had a look on WIkipedia and it quotes a figure of just 17 604s left in the UK in 2014 so that probably isn't an option.
