- True. Although the Volvo can be brought up quite a bit since their engines
- are so stable. A friend of mine has a 240 '84 with with a B23 engine that
- now resides on the other side of 300 hp.

- Do tell! I've got a 1975 245 (B20F). I'm kinda fond of the old barge,
- but it has no acceleration. What can I do to give it some zip? I'm not
- planning to race it or anything, but I'd like to be able to pull onto
- the highway without worrying about getting pancaked by some semi.
- I'd be willing to put some time and money into the project...
