you have updated the pics since i looked first. Have you guys looked at the tube manifold on the turbos. if you did the work yourself you got mad skills with a pipe bender and welder. i am really impressed with your setup. cant wait to see it running. This car would make me drive to a east coast meet.

Just thinking... if he is spending so much money on the engine swap... wh wouldnt he do it in a slightly newer (and nicer) volvo? something like an 855...

an 855 would be way harder to swap a vette engine into cause it's a longitude-mounted engine (RWD) in a transverse-mounted (FWD) car.
