LS Swapped 1979 Volvo 244 "Muscle Moose"

A quick look around of my friend's 1979 Volvo 244. This car is 5.3 LS swapped with a T56 transmission, big brakes, coilovers, and an 8.8 rear axle.
We will do a full feature on this car in the future, so stay tuned.

We drove by you today. My daughter really liked your car. So I geeked out a bit about how common a swap is for it. Even googled swapped volvo 240s. And this popped up. We are both impressed. She might want to build one as her first car. Great ride.

LS swapped Volvo 240s are a match made in heaven 😍

Muscle Moose must be one of the best nicknames for a flying brick I've ever heard, love it! (:

Dude this thing is sick!

[@longautomotive]

Thanks man yeah it's a really well put together car

[@chrissimes9445]

I like you just letting the car speak for itself, just good video. I'd also like you to talk about it some too in another vid... In 1999 I built a 740 wagon with a 93 Mustang GT 5.0 and 5 speed, it was great fun!

[@longautomotive]

I intended more detail in this video but it didn't pan out, I hope to do a full feature and interview the owner in the future.

[@chrissimes9445]

I just liked the video style, similar to to "turbo dreams". Let the car speak.

[@turdferguson1945]

I know exactly where you guys filmed this, that's a great road! If you ever see a beige vw jetta sportwagen with a white roof up there, that's me!

[@longautomotive]

You really can't ask for a better area to drive in

[@barrets6226]

Are you on LS swapped Volvo 240s page?

[@longautomotive]

I'm not sure if the owner is on there or not but it wouldn't surprise me.

[@barrets6226]

@@longautomotive ah, I was thinking this was your car.

[@ordinary7sasha]

Are you using Kaplehenke coil overs?

[@longautomotive]

This car has a really early set of coilovers from before BNE had a ton of stuff available. I however have his stuff on my 242 and they are good quality.

@@longautomotive awesome! Ben is awesome!
