Hi guys
I am new to the volvo scene but love the late 70's early 80's volvo shape. I am looking at starting a drag car/ tough street sleep project. I am thinking of running a 6.0 and perhaps turbo charge. Can anyone recommend which would be the best model to strat this on has to be 4 door. Has anyone done the V8 conversion in the past.
Thanks in advance

There are a few V8 volvos around.
Any old 240 would make a good base. There are plenty of people here to offer advice.

There is a thread in projects by @SirNemesis‌ doing exactly that to a 4 door 1982 244.

240 is smaller and lighter than a 740...
Both have had V8s inserted many times.
740 has more engine bay room

740 is easier to tub
240 has better rear suspension for power
960 has best rear end, most engine bay space, best sleeper status,

700 (and by default 900) were intended to get a V8 version of the PRV V6, so take a V8 easily. Not sure if the same applies to the 200's (260 in particular)
