This new List is mostly un-moderated but approval will be needed to get on this new List. Also, New Members must have their messages approved by the List Moderator, David Brumbeloe "merk_23@yahoo.com" before they will be posted to the List. The reason for this necessary moderation is to keep the advertising spammers from continually bombarding us, as they have in the past. All pertinant data for the conversion, is placed in the files section for review. This List is for discussions related to swapping the cast iron Ford 2300 head to a head from another manufacturer, mainly the 16 valve Volvo B234F head from 1989 1990. Most of the topics will be involving the procedures to place either an 8 valve aluminum SOHC or 16 valve aluminum DOHC head to the Ford 2300 engine. We are taking on this project in order to obtain the full potential of our Ford 2300's.
