[@MaskinJunior]

If Im not mistaken, that Volvo was developed for a V6 or a V8, there are rare V6 versions of it out there, but the V8 was cancelled completely due to the oil-crisis when the 240-model were in late stages of release.

[@jozefm3044]

its has OHV valve system, so the engine head is much smaller, plus the engine is V shape, so its more vide per same displacement and cylinder count

[@woutdevisser6124]

@@MaskinJunior the volvo 264 is fitted with the PRV-V6 which was originally intended to be a v-8 but due to the oil crisis in the early 70s basically 2 cylinders were cut of and was made into a v-6. I have seen very rare examples of 240s engine swapped with a v-6 but not sure if some were factory fitted with them

[@burning_cedar]

May the algorithm gods favor this video for its splendor and glory. Amen.

[@boostedmaniac]

I remember some years ago, there was a guy with a 4 door Volvo similar age, that swapped in a 5.0L from a 90s Mustang. It even had that trademark 5.0L V8 sound from the exhaust. I’d hear it pulling around the parking lot and kept looking for a Mustang, but would see this Volvo.

[@sonicstep]

"Kept looking for a Mustang, but would see this Volvo." 😳 😂

[@Tc4ify]

That's the thing with (V8) sleepers - if you want to make a really good one, you have to start with a car that already came with that engine type, like a crappy, 120 - 150 hp one, but a V8 nonetheless. That rumble is a dead giveaway for a car that only came with a 4-banger...

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Just have a local shop put a plain old 350 into a cheap Volvo wagon. It'll smoke tires all day long. Get a Volvo that doesn't run for a few hundred bucks, and a junkyard 350 for a few hundred bucks and pay a little bit to get it put together. Don't let your lack of knowledge prevent you from having the car you want, for cheap. You could probably end up with a running sleeper for a few thousand bucks, if research a bit and plan it out.

Hey caleb if you ever end up making one of these again, something you should add is some fails along the way. They may not be as glamorous, however they did happen and are worth showing. This build was an amazing one. But there was so many frustrating moments for you.

Very true! I could honestly make a video just about those! The goal is to make this video as short as possible, so adding the fails would make it too long.

I have got to say... you need to relax and take time to be yourself. The level of editing on these videos has got to be taxing.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Right? When I think about the mental effort required on a project like this and then add on the requirements of filming each step as you go and having to manage all the files/shots, it really is mind-blowing. I would probably blow a gasket.
