Wouldn't mind having this. Body looks so clean.

From the article:
This Volvo 740’s model year isn’t mentioned, but we’re more interested in the LS2 V8 swap underhood anyway. The ad says a previous owner built the stock Volvo powerplant as far as possible, moved to Ford 302 power, and finally settled on the six liter, GM-sourced engine now installed. Built up for a supercharger that never came, it’s still said to be good for 400 plus HP which is channeled through an automatic trans and 3.73 geared limited slip rear.

I don't know how that would work, via US customs inspection.

Emission wise, its clean, but not a stock engine.

Too much power:-)
