I actually just finished my sleeper project. I got excited whe i saw this topic.

I started off with a 91' 240 volvo. It had 200,000 on the motor and was about beat. Picked it up for $150 and no rust on the car (unheard of for upstate NY)

So i buy a little kit from converse engineering. Its all the necessary bits for a mustang 5.0 swap. I bought a 87 5.0 HO donor car. I took the engine down to the block and rebuilt it with new cylinders, rings, lifters, valves, had the intake/exhaust ported, got a new head and Bought a vortech supercharger for it.

Tossed it into the 240, got a custom drive shaft and use a 8'' ford rear end.

I run 6 lbs of boost and run about a 11.4 at the 1/4

Its a head turner, I get kicks out of spanking up on kids in their little 4 bangers and even taking out other american muscle. The looks on peoples faces are priceless.
