You running a full exhaust all the way back?
Yeah.. I want it quiet so it will hopefully maintain the sleeper look when running. I may add an electric cut out later on.Quote:

Nice progress! You aren't messing around!
So I have an extra turbo lying around so I did what any normal person would do and turned it into a desk clock for work. Mike this is what we were talking about.

Joe, that is so cool, what a conversation piece!
What EFI are you going to run with this?
Its looking cool and keep the updates coming!
Holley Terminator Max, luckily I got one before the shortage.Quote:

Getting closer to firing it up!
Something so cool about doing it all yourself. I really enjoy that personally. It's not so much the money savings, as just that feeling of accomplishment you get. Looking good so far Joe.
I’m at a good point where I believe all the mechanical items are mostly figured out. I hope to be wiring it up starting next week. I still got to figure out about vacuum hoses.Quote:

It is very rewarding getting something accomplished.Quote:

I’m in the middle of wiring the car up. Most of mechanical items are pretty much done.

Great work Joe!
You are making some good progress! Looks like you're not far from getting it fired up.
Wires reached!!!
https://i.ibb.co/kKtdSTf/A1-D9-A0-C0...3-E6-E97-D.jpg
Below solved an under sized relay on the fuel pump. Nice thing the wires from the Holley Terminator system just have to drive a relay coil instead of a pump so I don’t have run another 8-10 gauge wire back to the pump.
https://i.ibb.co/yPXzKZ4/F7071603-36...17-FAE4-D7.jpg
This is going to be sweet
Nice work man.
I can't wait to see it in person !!!
Thanks everyone! It’s definitely something I dreamed of doing since I was kid to this car. Back then it was either a 302 or even 340 engine. Thought Vopar would been a good name to replace Volvo with. Can’t wait to crank it over.
Old member on here years ago swapped a 302 into his Volvo. Mailman was his name. Havent seen him in years. Fell off the face of the earth it seems.

Making some progress again. Ran wire for the starter and located the hot wire in the engine bay.
Think I’m about three wires away from being done wiring it.

I saw you have it cranking over. Not far from hearing it run now!
I’m going try starting it next weekend. I have to move a gas line over from the exhaust manifold and hook up the fuel pump trigger wire to the relay. Also pick a better signal wire. Crossing my fingers now. I got the new firm ware in the Holley terminator today. It was good seeing it turn on for the first time.Quote:

Went to check the fuel pump and noticed fuel was flowing out of the back of the car. The return hose
needed replaced. I finished that today and got the car on the ground. Goal is to see if it will start tomorrow then I’ll clean the car up.

Ill be anxiously waiting on the video!!!
Here’s the first start video! I’ll start buttoning the car up but it was a good day for me.
https://youtu.be/ybU3kbb_Xbo
So close!!!
Is it just a stock 6.0?
Stock 6.0 with a BTR Stage 2 truck cam and GT45 turbo set at 5psi.Quote:

Brought it outside for the first time to take a better look at it.
https://i.ibb.co/QCLcZKx/3-BA49-C59-...3-F8847-D0.jpg
Had to replace one fittings since I could get it to stop leaking. Ohio hydraulics is a great place to go.
The cam has more lope than I expected.

No more sleeper status! Sounds healthy!
I don’t think even with the muffler it will prevent people from knowing something is in there. Anyway it sounds cool coming from the car.Quote:

First day out on the road.

Congrats, I'm sure it feels good to be driving it again!
Thanks! It was nice driving it after it sitting so long. The motor puts off so much more heat compared to the 4 cylinder that was in it. Not really sure how to cool down the engine bay.Quote:
