Volvo Mouse Rod; it's clearly a small-block.

Missed that VW cc in the background. Son and I have been discussing a project VR6 AWD.

Lack of AC? Not a problem....although it’s bothersome they colour matched the AC and not the generator...

Not to clutter up the thread, but...
Would work on an S60 as well; anything with the battery in the trunk.

I'll have to try that on the S80 when the AC goes out.

I'm still amazed they squeezed that big six into the engine bay fore-and-aft instead of athwartships. Wouldn't it have been easier to put the V8 in that space ? Not to mention endless fun.

2018 Hot Rod Drag Week, used the rig to get to the parts store for an alternator. Called the car “Attempted Murder Nova,” ran 11s all week. After the last blast, hooked the trailer up and drove home.

That's how it's done!

It's all been done, just not from the factory:
