Ladies and gents, I present to you, FINALLY, the new heart for the Volvo! Now don't let the current looks confuse you: Its a bit rusty, but everything internally is new (and it'll be getting a coat or two of paint). This is a gen 4, iron block 5.3 LS. It has stock pistons and rods, but ARP main, head, and rod bolts. That, along with the fat ring gap, big cam, upgraded valvetrain, upgraded oil pump, and billet timing components should allow this thing to eventually cross into the 1000HP range. That won't happen right away, as the rest of the car can't handle that much power currently, but it'll happen at some point.

Going to finish the Delica's interior first but after that, we're throwing this thing into the Volvo.

Once I get my Volvo back together I’ll be in the 1k range too. Made just over 900 to the tire at 18 pounds of boost. Pretty much the same set up you’ve got just an iron 6.0 nice to see you finally working on her again I missed this car!!

Be safe homie! Big HP is cool for YouTube views and whatever - but those numbers are needlessly high for actual driving unless you plan on drag racing it. Cage it, not worth dying for views.

Also mount the seat belts properly if they aren't already!

Yessir, I agree though you should cage it and of course suspension,

@jakob I currently own two Volvo's, including a 240 wagon like Gingiums - yes, broadly speaking Volvo's are 'safe' vehicles, but this meme that they're indestructible tanks needs to die. 240's are OLD cars. By the standards of the day? Best in class safety. By modern safety standards? They're dog shit. I know a lot of automotive guys roll their eyes at safety concerns, especially when building monsters like this - but the pervasive notion that taking additional steps to ensure you don't die is 'lame', or burying your head in the sand and thinking that all Volvo's are safe, or that you'll never end up in a wreck... It's just really stupid and short sighted. I know you're mostly just kidding around - but an 1000 HP street car with traction issues, torque steer issues, and absolutely zero air bags? You should be doing everything in your power to mitigate the safety risks so your sweet sleeper wagon doesn't become your own personal hearse.
