I don't know the diff ratios but they may also make it quicker or slower to 60 and have a marginal effect on top speed (+/- 2mph maybe) so i'd guess the hypothetical 2.9/3.0 940 would hit 129-133mph depending on diff ratio - seems like a lot of work for very little gain though!

Especially if you errrrrrrrrrrrrr............................ "hide" it so that you "don't know anything about it, a previous owner must have done it - wondered why it was quicker than the others i looked at!"

Don't want to hijack this thread ( even though we already have )
but would the whiteblock engine be heavier than the redblock which could reduce the weight advantage ?

Slight hijack i admit but it sprang from confusion over Volvos own badging of a 940 that was spotted................................ i think the jury has retired and taken Horlicks...............

For the record Dave. You are probably right about the 2.3 logo. Car wasn’t there today.

Spotted an R reg blackberry 940 estate and a light metallic blue (must find the name for this colour) N reg 940 in Cornwall only a few streets apart in Perranporth.

Not a 7/900, but on my way back from Suffolk on Sunday I spied a 240 on the A11 with a cat loose in the back...the animal kind, not the type currently in demand for scrap!
