I found some info about the overladded (overloaded) 850 volvo, their supposed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 550-600whp and are running 30psi of boost :shock:

These guys have been around for a while dropping ford V8s into RWD Volvos.

late 9-series wagon + blown 5.0 + lots of suspension work = excellent sleeper

I agree :wink: My uncles friend had a 502 under a s10, I heard that thing was fast.

A while back (about 10 years ago) my cousin built up an old chevy luv pickup truck. He tubbed it out, put a roll cage in it and dropped a built 327 into it. Talk about traction issues even with good size slicks the thing would be all over the road when he got into it. Sure was a head turner though espically when he'd be at a light next to someone, man it sounded mean!
