NJGB Hello Hey Fellas,
First post, been reading on here for a few years as I gained interest and then parts and eventually a car to put it in. Finally got the motor back from the machine shop the other day and will have some questions about that as reassembly proceeds and the build picks up. I am building a Volvo 240 wagon for a street strip car with my Dad, I have had many turbo cars and still have a turbo rx7, turbo Cummins dually, two turbo Volvo wagons one AWD and another 240 wagon I added a big turbo and 5spd to the original redblock 4cyl I also have an 84 Vette that I love to cruise with my Dad in his 1974 Vette. So this project combines my love of Volvos, turbos and classic American V8 goodness. My dad has more V8 experience and did some drag racing back in his day and is helping with support but I am taking the lead on the build.
Hoping to learn a lot and share our progress from the engine assembly, drivetrain development, tuning and race results. I'm going to post a question or two in a technical section in a while but for now here are some pics!
