jgkurz Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I have good friend that has a 350 Chevy with a T-56 in the identical green Volvo. The best he's run is a 13.5 in the 1/4 mile. The crowd goes crazy when his "sleeper" Volvo beats the Camaro's and Mustangs. It's fun to be in the stands and hear the comments. Coincidentally, he's tired of getting beat by my Z so he's going to a 383. I think I'm in trouble...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mas28O Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Scottie I had a volvo 4dr with a 383 v8 and 175shot of nos that would run 10.6@131mph 12.0@117mph motor The car was alot of fun to drive around, I use to drive it in SanAntonio, Austin, and waco alot. My 2nd volvo was a white 4dr with a 1998 vortec 350v8 all stock with a small cam, it would run 13's all day on radials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I had an '82 240 DL just waiting for a V8 transplant, but that thing would be much faster with the Buick motor. "Boxy, but good," takes on a whle new meaning... Thanks for posting that---makes me smile Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzx0 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I have a friend whose volvo is giving him a bit of a hard time. I was thinking I'd get him to go away for a week and then I'd swap a 350 into it. He'd never even notice. I think that would probably make the best april fools' joke ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HolyLlama Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 A friend of mine was telling me about when he was in High School(early-mid 80s) he had a buddy that had a beat up, rusty, pea soup green beetle. The only working door was the passenger's. He had welded the driver's door back on after he left it open and someone came down the street and hit it. His parents left on a cruise and they were sitting around in his dad's shop drinking beer when someone asked about the old Porsche his dad had in the shop. He had bought it thinking he was going to restore it but it turned into a nice decoration for the shop because he hadn't worked on it in years. Well someone said why don't they swap the engine out of the Porsche into his Beetle while his parent's were gone. Well the general agreement was why not, his dad wouldn't ever know. They be out cruising in "The Green Meanie" as it was called and they'd pull up beside someone at a stoplight, rev up and get laughed at, then they'd sucker the guy into putting money on it and dust him. He sometimes made $100 a night. The bets weren't much, but if you were driving a mustang or a vette and just got smoked by a beetle your probably wouldn't stop and pay up if the bet was large.
