So yeah this kinda happened.
Oh yeah. 1988 Volvo 740 with a 350 Chevy out of an '85 Suburban.
Wheels are not included. Putting the wheels and tires from the Taurus on it. Power Steering is being fixed before sale (wasn't hooked up). No A/C, going to get an aftermarket 350 kit, easy enough to get as a whole kit (Suburban didn't have A/C from the factory).
Going to clean up some of the wiring and make it more OEM-like, such as turn-key ignition and making more than things work in the dash cluster.
Planning on a mild cam and a pair of nice new heads. Gonna keep the stealthy exhaust for that sleeper effect.
Blew me away on the test drive today. Stoked. Got it for a good deal.
So tell me your thoughts!

Emissions has been removed. The car's an 87 so it's emissions-exempt here in Texas for state inspections. Other than that the motor's stock, so it'll definitely need some Vortec heads and a mild cam to really wake up.
