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

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

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.Quote:

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