long time volvo enthusiast here. glad to see the volvo getting some love. cant wait to see gingium's build. But homie needs to give Koltan McDonald aka Drifts n Lifts, the OG Volvo KZbinr, some spot light for copying his trademark sayings and used it to make a crew out of it "volvo gravy" . Definitely not throwing shade but give credit where its due.

[@AirikDaze]

koltan was full inspiration on idea for our group name and have contacted him about it in the past, all is well my friend

[@TURBOMOOSE]

@@AirikDaze thats awesome 👌 . love the build man.

Did he say cousin soon to be wife?? 🤣

[@logandandini6140]

Yea he did

[@gavinmigdol8400]

It sounded very bad but he said cousins

[@whymaniawhy]

Maybe there were two people in the car: His cousin and his future wife ?

Hey nice brick!!! You guys here in illinois? I have a frankenstein as well. 7mgte /r 154 manual swap and a whole lotta other things. That's one of the cleanest builds locally I've seen so far. Greetings from Oak Park.

[@ShootingCars]

Yes we are! Contact me if you’re ever interested in your Frankenstein getting it’s own review as well!

[@wesleycallaway8457]

Surely a Dana out of a Jeep TJ Rubicon would work would it not? Those Jeep’s are pretty skinny and you can get electric diff lock in them, just weld on the new brackets and there you go

[@Table_knife]

how's the frame holding up? i was wondering if the frame has twisted?

[@zacharytraub5867]

Unibody , no frame , chassis needs support after 600 crank , because it will tear the rear out or twist motor off brackets

[@bravethewildgaming8139]

I so wanna LS swap my Mazda 626 now lol

[@ricky107_]

You know its meant to be wen someone makes a how to video on swapping in a ls

[@georgewashington1106]

I would think if you're doing a video of a V8 that's swapped into a Volvo, you'd want to show people the motor in the car. Apparently not.

[@wf5831]

Ballpark, how much would it cost to get this done? Assuming I have a 240 ready to go, how much for ls engine/trans, brakes and suspension, and everything else needed with labor? Thanks

[@RustedCow]

Junk yard builds can be done cheap. It all depends if you are fine with buying used an possibly rebuilding a engine. You could buy a crate engine for 4k an then the rest of it. You can get a truck motor for 400$

[@wf5831]

@@RustedCow thanks. Now how much if I just took the car to a shop and said do this this this. Like engine, trans, brakes, suspension , and whatever else needed to be reliable and safe. I dont need a cherry show car.
