I've wondered what it would take to get a Volvo V8-32 valve engine into a project, and there just isn't the support for modified engines like the LS series of engines. Complexity, cost and availability just make it too hard for anybody who has a budget. The 60 degree V8 from the Volvo block might have been a benefit for fitment between the fenders, and it would allow you to race in certain sanctioning body classes with an "all factory" car, but that really isn't my objective. It really would be "nice to have" but not for my budget. and abilities...........
Good progress, keep the photos coming!!
