Greetings from all Inliners and welcome to the Inliners website.
Your Volga is a great looking car with nice body lines. As for Ford engines and specifications, you might try this Ford website:
http://www.fordpowerproducts.de/european_lit.htm This should give you an idea about Ford engine choices on your side of "The Pond". Other links will show you engine options from Ford around the world. My personal favorite is the DOC-423. It is also available in the States and installed into Ford Ranger and Mazda B-2300 trucks, the Mazda3 and Mazda6 cars, the Ford Focus and soon, into a Volvo model. The DOC-423 is very lightweight at 140 kg and strong. There are performance engine builders making over 300 h.p with modified engines. 200 h.p. is quite easy to obtain!
Good luck with your project!
Best regards,
