Yes it will, but don´t forget F7P engine has got combustion chamber, and B18FT not, I think you will end up with a very low compression engine.

Combustion chamber?? Explain??

a b18ft head is flat

the na head has a squish area.

i was gona go down the same route but i think the c/r would be way to low

Right. I see. Has it ever been tried?? Where's scof when you need him!!!

do it, and wack an extremely rediculess amount of boost through the engine to compensate for the extra low compression

[Adey aka Ewok]

try it with a 172 crank in?

Think in doing that the piston would raise out the top of the block.

Is the F7P block identical to the Volvo B18FT? Only reason is i thought there were slight differences due to one being 16v and one 8v.
I may be wrong as not really looked at an F7P block.

no, it won't sorry. the oil galieries do not line up. I know of a 16v head for sale that has been modified to live on a volvo block, if you were interested. and, as p30esteves says, you have a chamber in the 16v head, and not in the volvo.

2l crank will foul in both blocks I think, or atleast it will in the volvo's.

the bore in the volvo is also smaller than the f7p - 1721cc vs 1764 (I think) with the same throw on the crank.
