Title: My new single cam 4dr build
Post by: crxvtec91 on April 28, 2016, 08:54:38 PM
Yup this is not what you thought when you click on this build thread.

This is my older brother car I been helping with. The car is a 91 volvo 240 4dr. Goal for now is really simple, 500hp on pump gas done dirty cheap.

So far the break down goes.
2000 Lm7 5.3L complete motor with wiring $200
Th400 $100
pac 1250 springs $150
Ls1 cam $50
Gen 4 rods $100
8.8 rear $50
B&M torque convert FREE
Fake HKS ssql bov FREE

Still need to get injectors, turbo, oil lines, misc

Anyways onto some pic's.

Well I figured I would update this ti get motivated on working on something lol

How it sat for sometime, low funds and other projects.

While it sat we did pick up a set of mounts, and a VS7875
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/IMG-20170220-WA0050_zpsunbtlk7v.jpg)

(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/IMG-20170220-WA0054_zpsjvrgst4m.jpg)

Space is a bit tight but it will work.
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/IMG-20170220-WA0056_zpsgtmln7fr.jpg)

VS7875
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/20170310_190102_zps3kmzmou8.jpg)

Started working on the collector, keeping it nice and simple.
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/IMG-20170504-WA0010_zps1bs4juts.jpeg)

Pick up a Ls1 IM and TB for $50 :noel:
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/20170505_172300_zpsypobuob8.jpg)

Turbo clears the stock hood and should make for a nice simple fender dump
(http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/crxvtec91/Lsx%20Volvo/20170505_172334_zps994nvovr.jpg)

Thats about were I am at right now. Still have to do the following:
1) finish the manifold
2) Decap truck injectors
3) Install valve springs
4) Build IC piping
5) Install wiring
6) Install fuel pump

Thats the short list for now, I now im missing a ton of stuff.

The only reason we did, was he was sold out on the older style at the time.

The truck injectors dont fit in the ls1 intake manifold. I tried  :'(

I cant believe you got that manifold and tb for 50 bucks man that's a hell of a steal.

The truck manifold actually makes a little bit more power if it will fit.

I cant believe how well that motor fits in that beast. That car is going to be a blast.

I havent tried the injector yet, but saw someone on the sloppy page do it. I guess theres one way to find out. This is easier to work on then the old red block :noel:
