HelloI have been interested in the PRV V-6 engine since my father purchased a 
'76Volvo wagon (in 1980) which was equipped with that anemic 2.7 liter 
engineI have owned several Volvos with this engine, and have put togethera 
'76 Volvo Rallycar which is equipped with an even firing 3 liter PRV V-6with 
a nice big turbocharger that makes 500 horses A rather amusing toy to say the 
least. It has been an ongoing project since 1994, andhas a lot more power 
then I could ever hope to put to use on gravel,but it certainly is a croud 
pleaser I am curious to know more about the 24 valve version of this engine. 
Was that version ever turbocharged ? I am also interested in the 'short 
stroke' version of the engine, as it would be fun to put together a 4valve 
short stroke engine with really long connecting rods to make a really 
nicenoise at high revs and smoke the competition in the USA 'under 2.4 
liter'class, rallying in this country. Thoughts? I can be reached at
