The Volvette Is What Happens When You Have Family, But Race Car Is Life

We've seen 'Volvettes' before, but this is by far the cleanest build! If only every Volvo had a 500bhp LS1 under the bonnet - perfection

I don’t understand how the engine has that weird angle to it? It seems to pitch up a lot at the front.

Sweet build though

Something to do with suspension setup at the front, I believe.

Crossmembers and stuff. They weren’t set up from factory to hold that large of an engine so it just fits weird.

God I love this project! I’m driving a 960 myself and this is just so brilliant :D

Paul Newman put a Grand National V6 in a 740 and supercharged V8 in a 960. Here’s the 960 if you’re talking about clean. David Letterman has it now.

“You never wouldn’t expect almost 500hp from old Volvo” Pfff.. Sooooo many 2JZ swaps are made, And Volvos own engines has pretty good potential on their own aswell. Can’t forget all those Ferrari/Lambo killers out there ;)

Almost every 20 year old Volvo driver in Finland has 400hp or a 2jz swap:D

In my area, somebody has a twin turbo foxbody Mustang V8 Volvo wagon that’s stripped out. That thing is awesome
