Looking for donor car ideas.. Volvo Amazon wg.

02-20-2012, 05:26 PM

Considering a 60* V6 swap in this 66 Volvo wagon. My goals are good gas mileage
enough power to use an ATM. I like the idea of aluminum heads. Its going to be a pretty light weight car. What would be a good donor car?(truck?)
thanks!

There is a volvo wagon that looks like this one on the way to my mom's house that is for sale. It has been for sale for awhile and my first though was a 60*V6 swap. Needless to say I have never stopped to check it out as my wife would kill me if I took on such a project at this time.

I would probably start with a 3500 engine out of a 04-06 Malibu or G6, then use the front cover and other misc RWD parts off a 3.4L 93-95 Camaro.
