Volvo.F89

Good answer Jamie. Well done for getting the photos too.

A simple mod. for Volvo Oz. The air stack looks very 290 ish to me and was probably cobbled together from a mix of Volvo parts.

Your gearbox comments are probably spot on too. “Snowman” had an F89 with an overdrive (9509A?)Fuller 'box and “it flew” according to him. An easy swop to make. Because it was light weight 'box, no rear gearbox supports were necessary. I had an F12 Intercooler with a dying SR70 'box (as they did), fitting a Fuller was an option and would have cost less than £1500 to convert INCLUDING the gearbox! It was going to be £1000 to rebuild the SR70. I stuck with the Volvo parts.
