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.

The Suspension

Front Control Arms:

These have been sandblasted after the rubber bushings were burned from the shells using an acetylene torch.  Since this polyurethane bushings from MVP have been installed.  I don't have pictures of my Bilstein revalved shocks and struts but here is a link to Dave Barton's site for further details.  I had my shocks/struts revalved to his specs for a 245 wagon.  Springs, swaybars (25mm front and rear), Cherry turbo's strut tower brace, GT Volvo firewall to strut brace are from IPD. I'm using stock Volvo 15" turbo rims with Potenza S-03 tires in 205/55-15 size from tire rack.

More suspension pictures to come.
