My uncle has a 70 something caprice with a 572 crate motor in it. It has a ford rear end and 3" exhaust all the way back... yeah the thing is heavy as shit and leaves rubber all over the road.
I''ve driven it once and it kicks my Trans Am''s f''n ass. (in the straights that is) Sleepers are awesome.
I know there used to be this video of an astro van that put like 1400 hp to the wheels floating around the internet, havent seen it in a few years though.

it''d be hard to put together a wicked bad TT Ls1 and stick it in some crap box volvo wagon with faded paint and steelies...the wheels and body are tastefully done. It''s not tubbed out or anything.

That is funny. They probably only swapped the engine to get rid of the oil leaking pos engine that was in it.


they may leak (alot.. i had a volvo for a bit) but my dad and uncle both have had volvos with over 350k on the original motor



my aunt loves volvos...I always told her they were POS...and she said no they run great up to 50k then its time to get a new one....and thats why she gets a new volvo every 2 years...I never heard of a volvo with 350K...



The world record holder for highest miles on a car is a Volvo.  Some guy in NY has one with over 2 million miles...  That''s not as impressive as an LS1 Volvo though.

that thing was amazing. If he likes the volvo than he can put whatever the hell he wants in it. I would much rather that engine be in a volvo than a corvette. It''s unique, it''s something different, he deserves a lot of credit.

I''ve had three 245 turbo wagons...got rid of them about two years ago. The white one was my wifes and mine was blue. These RWD wagons could be pumped out to keep up with the ricers...Mine was mildly built with a IPD cam, boost controller running @15 psi, 2.5" exhaust and a few other goodies. Here''s a couple of my sigs I used at the Volvo Forum.
