This is a 1992 Volvo 740 that we (Yoshifab) used to develop a LS1/Gen3 V8 conversion kit. All work was performed about a year ago and the car has only done maybe 1000~1500miles in that time.
1992 740 wagon
1999 LS1 with 101000 miles on it. Motor runs smooth and strong.
1999 T56 with the same mileage, shifts into all gears smoother than any other t56 I have driven
Yoshifab Gen 3 V8 mount kit
Custom drive shaft
GM LS7 Clutch/Flywheel (1000 or so miles on it)
C6 exhaust manifolds
LS6 intake manifold
SLP MAF
4" intake pipe/K&N filter
Pro 5.0 Shifter
Custom 3" exhaust (sounds very nice, just enough rumble to let you know its a v8 but nothing crazy) Nobody even seems to look twice when you roll through a parking lot.)
Yoshifab rear subframe reinforcement kit
G80 locking differential
AC compressor replaced this week
Goodyear tires have about 1000 miles (well lets say 2000 miles after the burnout pic) on them. Just have the fuzzies worn off.
Accessory belts and pullies are all about 1000 miles old
The beauty of this car is the overall condition. It is not perfect but much nicer than your average Volvo of this vintage. Paint is still in very good shape but a few shopping cart kinda dings. It has been very well maintained, all the suspension and steering is tight and the breaks work well. The car runs and drives totally normal, my wife has no issue stepping out of her new Corolla and driving this to the store. It has working ac, good road manners, and a very smooth ride. The idea is a car that drives like a normal Volvo wagon but with a lot more zip. It works quite well. The car was a diesel in a previous life and the CA title still reflects that. Shipping can be arranged but buyer will be 100% responsible for shipping costs. Last Volvo I shipped went cross country for around $800

Volvo to add 1,300 jobs, ramp up production in Sweden
Fri, 17 Oct 2014
The expansion of the factory is part of an $11-billion investment Volvo's Chinese owners, Geely, are making.
Volvo Cars is adding 1,300 new jobs and ramping up production at its factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, in response to increased consumer demand for its vehicles.
Volvo specs new 450-hp triple-charged four-cylinder engine
Tue, 07 Oct 2014When Volvo lifted the veil on the new XC90 a little over a month ago, it announced that all versions would be powered by one engine design: a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder to be offered in various states of tune. That would range, Volvo said, all the way up to a high-output version with "around 400 horsepower," but while it wouldn't specify exact output, now it has.
The new High Performance Drive-E Powertrain incorporates two parallel turbochargers fed by a third electric turbo-compressor. Instead of feeding the cylinders directly, that third unit spools up the twin turbochargers, working together with a dual fuel pump pressurized to 250 bar.
The result is an output of 450 horsepower - far more than the existing 320-hp version and even more than expected. That also works out to 225 hp/liter, far more than the 177 hp/liter boasted by Mercedes-AMG's high-output turbo four and the 139 hp/liter in the Alfa Romeo 4C. Short of a rotary engine (whose actual displacement is the subject of great debate), you'd have to go up to something like the Koenigsegg One:1 (268 hp/liter) to find a higher specific output than what Volvo's boasting here.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
