Costs

This site is dedicated to detailing the installation of an all aluminum LS1, V8 engine, and 6speed T56 transmission removed from a 2000 Camaro Z28 and installed in a 1982 Volvo 245 Turbo Wagon. While this car is not yet running it is well on its way to putting 300 RWHP in a boxy, very utilitarian, Volvo. Hopefully, with the proper work, the suspension and other drivetrain components will be up to the task of keeping the power firmly planted.
