New Car: Volv...oh?

No offense but if someone were to go through the hastle of dropping a v8 in there they should have put in something a bit bigger maybe a built 350. Im sure it would have been a tighter fit but with all the work already done it shouldnt have made a huge difference

Also more cubes doesnt always equal more power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The only reason i wouldn't do something like this to a volvo is because they are very ****ing heavy bricks. Would you rather get hit By a brick or a cinder block ?

other than that, they are very rigid and very safe. My volvo has survived over 4 collisions and was holding up just fine till I opened up the engine.

btw that exhaust is sexy lookin
