Motor swaps are fun, I hope my next one is a turbo 

It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

Re: 1973 Volvo 142 coupe

Re: 1973 Volvo 142 coupe
built me some motor mounts, since the B23FT has much different mounts custom ones had to be built..

Re: 1973 Volvo 142 coupe
the pics actually are very deceiving.. i actually got very good penetration in my welds, so yes i do trust them to hold in my motor.
anyways i clearanced the passenger side frame rail to clear the turbo. im happy with how it turned out.

Re: 1973 Volvo 142 coupe
alot more progress has been made.. and alot of crucial decisions have been made about how this car will look in the end..
BUT you all get to wait cuz im taking this build and putting it under wraps. all you fellas get is teaser pics till i feel necessary.
