Selling the B6254S engine (2.5 litre straight 6) from my UK import 96 960 Estate (wagon), perfectly good running engine, only reason I'm selling is because I've decided to convert it to 3.0.
Rare engine in Australia as the 2.5 engine was never officially imported to Australia, only a handful of private imports from UK, Japan & Singapore floating about.
Apart from the reduced engine capacity, the 2.5 engine also got a different cam profile. If this cam is fitted to 3.0 engine, it will result in better torque at low rev (around 2500rpm) by sacrificing top end horsepower (reduced from 204hp to 180hp). Volvo actually produced the 3.0 in this configuration as standard equipment for the US market from 95, called B6304S2.
At this stage I prefer to sell the whole engine complete for $550, it will be removed so buyer only needs to organise pick up / shipping. The price also includes engine ECU as it's different to 3.0.
If there is insufficient interest in the whole engine, I will consider selling the cylinder head with camshaft for $350.
