I'm thinking the oil pressure sensor relocation is mandatory here.......or you'll be pulling the dash to replace it.

Now for the fun! The car can probably not be called "sleeper"

or?
police "sleeper"? hmm ..

For the Swedish police, it might require a "sleeper"!

The pictures speak for themselves!

A friend of mine, who is a Volvo nut, made two Volvo conversions. The first one was a station wagon that he installed a 5.0L efi Mustang engine in with and aod trans. That one he called the Voltang. The next one was a four door sedan that he installed a late nineties LT-1 Chevy engine and auto trans in. He called that one a Volet!!!! Both cars looked factory. Quite an accomplishment. PS love this project!!! Big ballls!!!!!!
