Volvo Thread

How mad would you be if I bought this and LS1 swapped it?

Its your money asshole

The TBI system was a known choke point on those engines. The seller changed it to a 4 barrel carb with and edelbrock intake. It's probably up into the low 200's for HP now. Better heads and a cam are less than $2000 and will easily yield 300 some-odd HP. That's far cheaper than doing a 5.3 swap which being LS-based shares nothing with that existing 350. You would need different mounts, different exhaust, different fuel system, wiring out the ass, an aftermarket low profile oil pan to enable it to fit around the crossmember ($$$), etc, etc.....

What fog lamps are those?
Hella?

5.3 is 300hp stock and costs 300 dollars from the junk yard

Except the bolt pattern from the trans to the motor??????? it's the same fucking bolt patern, the motor literally drops in.
They less SBC to LS adapter plates, they cost like 30 dollars on ebay lol... All they do is move the bolt holes like 2 inches forward on the mounts.

exhaust is easy, fuel system is 160 dollars for the whole thing except the fuel line

Wiring isn't hard, I just converted my own LS hardness and ECU I got off ebay for 100 dollars to standalone, oil pan??? you know the oil pan on the 350 wont clear just as much as the oil pan on the LS wont clear.

They sell SBC to LS adapter plates* lol sorry just woke up

only the aero

9000 CSE turbo 5 speed, 7.5 0-60, 143 vmax
volvo 850 estate turbo m/t 7.5 0-60 149 vmax

I like saabs too but you're wrong.

I see plenty of real saabs still running about only the GM era were crap, same can be said about ford era volvo

I will never buy a GM product because of what they did.

aero was only .1 0-60 and lost by 3mph on the top. could out handle but couldn't out run a turbo brick

...

My Blizzaks are at my parents hous 130 miles away, but that doesn't even matter with a 240. Actually it makes hektik skids that much better!
