More details on this please. How do I get 400hp from a 2.5?
Damn near put a bid on a 740 turbo 5 spd wagon that was on eBay and reasonably close... But it just looked like too much of a project to take on with everything else I've got going on right now.

Too expensive, too beat, and too far. Thanks Dog.

I believe that has almost enough cargo space for the metric crapload of want that I have for it.

Parents owned a silver 6 cyl version of this (Mustang nose notwithstanding!)
Here are two of mine; the one with sliding doors is far more useful.

That's what my gut was telling me as well (except the too far bit).

Do the body lines really line up that easily? If so why has everyone not done this?
In reply to Junkyard_Dog: That's what I'm told! I asked the same question!

I was told that the same engine running by another guy is pushing over 500 HP on high boost. But was told by the builder that if I run low boost it would be a reliable 400 hp. This is dyno proven.

Just browsing through CL. Found a cool V8Volvo.
On one of my trips to my dad's place in North Carolina I packed the Saturn with a complete Suzuki LT230 Quad, a lawnmower and two chainsaws... and a bunch of small stuff. 317K miles and it is still running!
