If Im not mistaken, that Volvo was developed for a V6 or a V8, there are rare V6 versions of it out there, but the V8 was cancelled completely due to the oil-crisis when the 240-model were in late stages of release.

That's the thing with (V8) sleepers - if you want to make a really good one, you have to start with a car that already came with that engine type, like a crappy, 120 - 150 hp one, but a V8 nonetheless. That rumble is a dead giveaway for a car that only came with a 4-banger...

This is a car that I totally would build if I had the knowledge. Sleepers are the best cars.

Just have a local shop put a plain old 350 into a cheap Volvo wagon. It'll smoke tires all day long. Get a Volvo that doesn't run for a few hundred bucks, and a junkyard 350 for a few hundred bucks and pay a little bit to get it put together. Don't let your lack of knowledge prevent you from having the car you want, for cheap. You could probably end up with a running sleeper for a few thousand bucks, if research a bit and plan it out.

The explanation captions, detailing what you are actually doing with each grind, cut, weld, dry fit is very helpful, otherwise we'd be lost, thinking "WTF is he doing? This makes no sense if he's trying to show off. It's just a mess of things happening.".

I own a Volvo and I love to see these builds and how Volvo´s are able to become such monsters. Here in Europe we have so many safety and regulations in place that is impossible for us to do such swaps on our cars, for every change (even minor) we need to ask the brands acceptance (if the brand accepts, not often) we have to register it for the early inspection.

A truly gifted fabricator! 👊🏼
