Volvo 460 2.0 tuning

Hi I'm new here & with volvo so please bear with me ;) My mate is getting a Volvo 460 2.0 from his granddad. I'm a genuine Renault nut and have owned several R19 16v's, and have some spares. I do know that the engine in the 400's is basically a Renault F-series engine with other inlets and exhausts.. The main question is, does a F7P/F7R 16v head fit straight on the 2.0 engine in the 460? What parts are the same from the Renault to the Volvo? The car is a '95 464-313 S 2.0 with the B20F engine.

The Renault 2ltr 16V head won't fit on the B20F. The water and oilways don't match. Here's an interesting thread about tuning a B20F with a hotter R cam:

Thanks.. Will look into getting either an F7P/R or just porting the head he's got..
