1990 Volwoah 745 Tic

Brand new cam gear, guy changed his build so he sold it for cheap, not the prettiest thing but i will machine it pretty this summer. This goes on first, then the walbro pump and then it's off to the dyno to get some good semi-baseline numbers, then the stage two cam goes in.

Sounds good. If you like different and fast though a chevy ls motor would fit those requirements better. I am sure most have already heard of the volvette.

that is the best video of it so far!, twin turbo ls motor when i pop the redblock

I like how it says closed circuit yet they stop in front of the I34 sign and talk about it lol

You could get an iron block version of the LS motors for a fraction of the price too. A stock 5.3L truck block will handle about 600whp stock, and you can use the stock manifolds flipped around for perfectly reliable turbo manifolds and unlike most import motors you can use the factory sensors and PCM to control even boosted applications. People have used the stock modified harness and PCM up to 1000+whp reliably. If you wanted to make more than 600whp, its just rods, pistons, and and O-ring away from close to 1000whp, still on stock exhaust manifolds and stock PCM.


Just about the cheapest way to make 600whp I know of. Those 5.3s go for literally a $250-500 all day complete. This is what I'm planning on using for my next project.

Lq4?

Lq4?

the lq4 and the lq9 are the 6.0s I think the 5.3 is the LM7

The 6.0's are even better but they are nearly as expensive as the aluminum ls1s.

All of these motors are the same external dimensions and have the same mounts so you could put any in the volvo

The transmission will be more expensive. T56s unfortunately arent cheap you can bolt up some pretty cheap automatics. like the th350s and th400s

This is correct! 5.3 best bang for the buck. LQ4's/9's are over a grand most of the timne just like a LS1. You can buy three/four 5.3's for the price of one ls1

Thanks to Custom Autobody for helping me with the cam gear install, took 10 minutes, looks better and gives me another couple HP.

[jst_4_kiks]

i'll build you one

Find me a decent car just like your wagon on craigslist, compile a list of parts, & let me me know $$$$
