Thread: 1978 Volvo "284" v8

Tweet

names matt, got a 1978 volvo 264 that ive strapped 2 small blocks into. first one was a 305 from a camaro, that was the fun one. used experimental mounting points and worked fine. but the 2nd one is its current heart, a 355 with the 305 HO heads. best gestimate would be somewhere in the ballpark of 300-350 hp. fast car, built to be a daily driver/ weekend warrior. full IPD suspension, sways, shocks. girling 4 pistons up front and 2 pots on the back. soon to have new brakes, and gonna hopefully get a new 5 speed manual for it. rockin the 700r4 but i want a manual for better gas. this has been a project car of mine for about 5 months now, and i hope to continue to build upon it and make it better and nicer. this is my first real car ive built. enough about the car. i personally like cars, computers, women and money. im going to FCCJ for auto tech, getting ASE cert sometime soon, im an avid gamer, and have a rather open mind and out going personality. i love to learn new things and i learn threw trial and error mostly. if i post something thats wrong, dont jump down my throat for it, i just dont know any better. help me out and ill return the favor someday.
