Marc, if you’re hoping to keep the original engine, skimming the block face, skimming the head face, new pistons, you will have some height issues with the piston crowns. You then have the option of using a spacer head gasket or taking thous off the piston crowns and making up spacers to go under the rocker bar to get the pushrod geometry back to correct.. -A very interesting engine build, please stick with it.
Yes we have spoke about the possible issues we might face so let’s see how it goes and what comes off the machining process. I will keep you all updated. Cheers
a classic rally spec for the engine would be a cracking spec for it
Just find a good engine shop and take their advice then see whether your budget will run to the work needed. Regards.
No shame ina little extra power. They definitely do well that way.
Oh for sure it should be a happy thing to drive once the machine work is done. I am excited for it. While I save for that I have plenty of welding to do aha
@@SimpsonsClassics Ah yes. The welding. According to my Amazons I don't know how to weld. It's a skill I've kept well hidden so far lol
@@DeanofMachines haha 😂 mine definitely needs some but not loads so once that’s done it’s time to send it 🤣
Great chance for a tasteful upgrade and cheeky power increase! Twin carbs and a tasteful exhaust would give her a lovely little growl. Great video fella
Thanks buddy that’s the vibe I think. Keep it period with the mods but might as well upgrade while we can. Cheers 👍
Great to see you working on the Amazon .. by the sounds of it you want to do a rolling resto on it . Would be a nice idea as you get to enjoy it as you restore it .. also big turbo for the win . Truck one maybe 🤣
Haha yeah I think I want to drive the car and paint can be done at a later date just get it moving again after so many years…
Keep it naturally aspirated.
Don’t worry I want to keep it a period 60’s car
You want to keep the car as original as possible, but if the engine and the other spare unit does not work out consider a much later Volvo engine of about 1800 to 2000 cc capacity. Volvo OHC engines from about the late 80's to 90's, which had aluminum heads, other improvements and outputing more power and torque.
That’s the plan to a point, I want the engine to have period 60’s mods so it will go nicely but be in-keeping for the car. Many people have mentioned about doing a restomod style car but it’s not for me on this car. If you keep following the channel you will see a build like this in the future
Nice to see some Amazon content. I'd send the block and head to a machine shop, have them advise you. If the block can't be made good then source a good used B20 to rebuild. Have fun! Look forward to the next episode!
That’s the plan buddy once we know more I will update you all. But I am hoping the block can be saved and I can build a nice period modified 60’s engine 🤞
I’d keep it relatively standard Marc but with nice period upgrades like you seem to be planning. Plus 20 bore, head skim polish and port, Weber carbs??, nice stainless exhaust. Bit of a sleeper.
Yea this is the plan buddy. I would love some Webbers so let’s see what funds allow nearer the time to not some nice twins and a nice stainless exhaust will sort her 👍
make sure you aroldite those core plugs back in when you do it, i had 2 failures with them on my b230a and one was at efi runcorn! good luck with it
Oh I will be don’t worry. Thanks buddy 👍
Love your channel and your work. Happy 2024!
Happy new year
Lee @Barum engines is worth a shout for machining!
Cheers thanks 👍
I have some B18 internal engine parts you can have. They are used but been stored from the 60s or 70s and in good condition I think. Let me know. Mitch
Mitch that would be ace thanks I will definitely be in touch 👍
No worries. I don’t have any B18 cars so don’t need the parts myself.
😎👍
Cam bearings in block ok?
Yea I think we mention this in the video those will need attention to 👍
A supercharger makes a heavenly noise but don't do it to this car, period correct is the tuning way to go. Beanie's are awesome when you're bald, although my baldness is a choice, don't personally like the hair colour. This new shop is so much more homely and looks nice to be in.
Yeah a supercharger is just cool! The workshop is ace honestly a nice place to be. I will make a plan on the engine depending on how bad the block is
@@SimpsonsClassics I don't know Volvo's, does someone not do a version like the gold seal for the a and b series? Mind I don't know what the costs would be, don't know much do I? 🤣
@@graemew7001 haha no I don’t think so. I am lucky that I have a complete spare set up from Jackman if needed
Hobnobs!! Noooooooooooooooo!
🤣🤣
Def go for extra power,nice to have a cool reliable rebuilt engine 👍
Yeah man that’s the plan keep the looks for now but have a nice motor. I hope your doing well 👍
Nice to see work on the Amazon progressing.
I rebuilt my B20 rebored and fitted a Piper cam,and a 32/36 Webber.Got to get the car rewired before i start it,so fingers crossed.
You new workshop looks like someone's lounge.
Do they know you're in there?
Thanks for the tips David. I am excited to start building this up and learning this side of things. Haha it is like being in a house with my cars it’s ace.
@@SimpsonsClassics
i took mine apart about 10 years ago ,and have trouble remembering how stuff goes back together.(like the route of the speedo cable).
As i said before mine was a complete strip down to just a bare shell.
The manual i've got is pretty useless,so i tend to find most of the information on RUclips.
@@davidbarlow350 oh wow yes I am already wondering where it all goes again. Hopefully between us all we can build it up.
As for the engine... bang a turbo in it 😁.
🤣
I love the idea of keeping a period look to the engine. Deck the block and skim the head to clean those surfaces up and increase compression. Overbore to clean up the cylinder bores and add a few more CCs. You can get a hot road/performance cam. All that would work well with that twin carb manifold.
That’s the plan buddy keeping it period to the 60’s. Hopefully the block is saveable and it goes nicely 🤣
