wow that's awesome...yes I'm very familiar with the Volvo head swap! Sick! I love it. My next car will definitely be a 79-86 2.3 turbo car. Not sure if I'll be motivated enough to do the Volvo head swap but it will be a turbo none-the-less...

Very nice.

Wow, beautiful car. Makes me miss the 76 Capri that I had 20 years ago. I put a carb'd turbo from a 80 Mustang in mine. I'm sure that your's is much more fun! :twisted:

Great car! Kudos for the work and effort you had put into it. I am aware of the Volvo swap as well and think that is a great way to go. I always had an interest in doing a Cosworth engine for super results.

Just another thing to mention, the 1987 SVO Mustang was slated to have a 16v turbo producing 275hp at the time! Unfortunately as we all know they scrapped the 87 SVO's. I really wish they would have produced this car. The SVO was a great car but not enough seperated it performance wise from the V-8's for their price aside of it's superior braking and handling.
