I love these kind of modifications :popcorn That manifold looks great, I like it better than when it was still invisible. You deliver great work!
I'm not familiar with these Volvo engines, are they even stronger than the M10? At least they're 16v and have DOHC :rev

Yes the main reason was that it has 16 valves and DOHC.
Next step with M10 would be M parts and everybody knows how expensive that is..?!
That Volvo engine is very strong allso and the head has good potentials. In Sweden they take lots of Horsepower of those.
But yes Finnish dudes allso:

Cool pictures!
Will the car be finished before the 11th of June? I ask because that's the date of the International Sharknose meeting in the Netherlands. Will you be coming to this meeting? Would be great if you could!

This Volvo engine is very strong!
And M10 allso very strong but when you want more rpm you must have 16valves!
With Bmw your only choice is S14 and thats not cheap.
