Finally, a spacer/mount combo that works! Using a 1.5" spacer block, the engine sits perfectly. Just the right amount of clearance from oil pan crossmember, and the slip-yoke is straight as an arrow. The oil pan ground clearance, however, could still use some work...

Love the build! Curious tho, what cam did you go with - you mentioned the texas speed torquer and also an LS1 cam. Which one did you go with?

Default I'm about to do the same

What all did you cut out of the original Volvo harness in the engine bay. I'm swapping an LS into my 1989 740. Just curious as to what I should be removing and what I should leave. I got the car with no engine or trans so I'm not sure where any of the connectors go that are just hanging around.

Yeah, way too old a thread. I will close it.
But this long-running Volve swap thread is current:
