Volvo. I say this because I've heard rumors that the DOHC head on the 16 valve 740's were made from help from porsche, similar to the 944/968 engine head.
Granted, that is a few years later than we are talking, but maybe they had ties earlier? I don't know since they aren't german though... any dice? Or is it another sweedish company?

What is that 4-cyl engine?
One engine is in RS2 and is 5cyl regular 2.2 20V with a little Porsche know-how inside and RS2 uses Porsche 4-pot Brembo brakes too.
BTW: here's a nice example how to make V8 conversion worthwhile: http://924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=...37be2eb0a54a58

A BMW 325 engine is a neat idea. I might have to explore that. Parts are all over the place, everything can be done to them...interesting.

I have nothing against them in principal, the halfassed cobbled together ones are what I despise, and theres enough of them like that....
That, and many of the posters on that other forum dont really present themselves as shining examples of intellegence. They rant and rave about people here, and stick themselves in a textbook "Pot calling the Kettle black" situation.
