Hello

I have been interested in 
the PRV V-6 engine since my father purchased a '76
Volvo wagon (in 1980) which 
was equipped with that anemic 2.7 liter engine

I have owned 
several Volvos with this engine, and have put together
a '76 Volvo Rallycar 
which is equipped with an even firing 3 liter PRV V-6
with a nice big 
turbocharger that makes 500 horses

A rather amusing toy to say the 
least. It has been an ongoing project since 1994, and
has 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 4
valve short stroke engine 
with really long connecting rods to make a really nice
noise at high revs and 
smoke the competition in the USA 'under 2.4 liter'
class, rallying in this 
country. Thoughts?

Have a good day!!
