Got some more tubes in the car:

We're pretty satisfied with the fit, especially considering this is the first cage we've ever put together:

The car is going in to storage for a while, as we're both going back to school in a few weeks. There should still be some engine-related updates in the coming weeks/months though, so stay tuned.

Posting an update, sort of. We're both in Sweden right now going to school, so the car is stored away. We're still putting time in to little projects though. We spent a few days on and off making this thing. Finished it last night.

It's made from two Stromberg float bowl covers. Broken down:

The top of the upper cover has been turned down and threaded:

The inside has also been turned down to hold a spring:

Bottom cover has been mostly hacked apart and also has some slits along the perimeter (I love the indexing table):

The tube has a snap ring that places it flush with the face of the bottom cover:

Rubber membrane with a spring perch/50mm disc:

Tube goes inside the bottom cover, membrane goes on top:

Then with the spring on the membrane's perch followed by the top cover and the threaded bushing, you end up with this:

Weld the tube to your charge pipe and run a vac signal to the threaded bushing and you've got yourself a blow off valve.

looks great guys! so where in sweden are u studying? Blir en tuff bil när den är klar!

Tackar! Vi pluggar på Chalmers.

Thanks! We're studying at Chalmers. (For those of you who are Swedish-challenged. :D )

Welcome from another Ma. guy. Sweet project ! This is going to be fun to watch, very interesting. How long will you be in Sweden ?

Cool I always wanted to go to Chalmers (did go in Norrkoping etc instead) You should have all the possibility
in the world to pick up any Volvo parts you need for your
car. I assume parts for them should still be plentyful back home.

I love the warm and sunny Arizona :lateral:

Bad ass! Looks like just a normal volvo, something sinister about that body style w/ a good drivetrain. :thumbsup:
