My new soon to be project...a 1978 Volvo 242

Currently has a 2100cc motor producing an amazing 100hp (rated at that amount, I'm sure it's way less by now)

Plans for it???

Install newer powerplant from an '85 240 Turbo model...picked up the engine a few weeks ago, claimed to have 125K miles on it and from looking at the cylinder walls, I believe it, as of now, I don't plan a full rebuild, just clean it up, replace all the gaskets and freshen it up.

Car has a 4 speed that I'd like to replace with a late 80s, early 90s Ford Mustang 5.0 5 speed

It'll get all the wear items replaced in the suspension, new brakes and a redone interior.

Car to be lowered an inch or so and 17" or 18" wheels will find thier way onto the car.

I'm going to need the complete fuel injection (minus the intake manifold) as well as the exhaust manifold and a turbo, so if you have this stuff laying around collecting dust, lets talk....

Budget is $5500 so I got to be careful with the "options"
