    Add Lightning, Instant Monster!

    Dropped the engine over the course of yesterday and today. Had to notch and box the crossmember (my measurements of the V6 oil pan were off :rolleyes: ) . Trans is in with the stock crossmember (boxed) and the fuel system is plumbed, the throttle cable run, power brake booster hooked up, radiator back in and steering shaft relocated for motor mount clearance.

      You know what, that is true, I can get to all the plugs and wires and everything. Its annoying that a Volvo has more room underhood than our F-bodies.. :mad:

      But, imagine 200hp in a 3000lb car. [img]smile.gif[/img]

            No, its a 3.8 from a 1998 Firebird in a 1977 Volvo.

            Thanks guys. As for the forced induction question, I do have here in my posession a 400cfm T3 from a 1984 Buick Riviera, AND a intercooler from a 700 Volvo of some flavor. I'm thinking about upgrading the T3 to a 750cfm TA33 from Limit Engineering and pushing about 10psi into it.

            I'm going in search of some exhaust manifolds that I like better than the Firebirds ones (clearance SUCKS) and I got it about 1/2 way wired today since I'm rewiring the whole car. And I also got the fuel system finished too. I'll post some more pics in a few days!
