My First Car was a Volvo an 83 Volvo 240 GL manual and despite there reputation was a very good car that surprised many people.
When I had It I always dreamed of putting a chev or ford V8 in it ( I didn’t know anything about Jap stuff) but at the time I did not have the time, money or knowledge (and I was getting sick of all the Volvo boy crap)
So I went and got my self a VLT
And have now fallen in love with Turbo 6’s
I am now at a point where I need to decide whether I should:
1. Keep the VL and keep spending on mods, maintenance and stuff
2. Up grade to a new car (R32 Skyline GTS-t 4 door)
3. Build the Ultimate Volvo sleeper. (Keep VL until Complete then sell and just get a shit box run about).
I have done a lot of research into to the Volvo project and know of a variety of engines that have been put in them ranging from Chev small block, ford small block, RB30ET, VG30DET, 1UZ, 1JZ Late model Volvo 5 cylinder turbo and Highly worked Stock engines with turbo.
What I basally want to do is bye a 240 wagon give it 200 + Kw, good handling and brakes. The most practical engine choices seem to be ether RB25DET, 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE or maybe a 1UZ.
But I need more info before I make any decisions. The main thing I need to work out is how much it will all cost and how hard it will be?
I am thinking about $4,000 $6,000 for the car, $3,000 for half cut and I have no idea how much it will actually cost to have the conversion done, engineered and on the road.
I think I should be able to pull out the old engine and stuff from the Volvo and strip the half cut. I also have a mate who I can get to do some welding work but I think most of the hard stuff will have to be done by a Work Shop.
If any one can suggest some one I could contact about doing the work or give me any other ideas or suggestions it would be appreciated.
Thanks
