I'll be a dousche and say it doesn't matter, it will never run, just cause I can
<3 you matt, no homo

...but, to stay on topic, ls based would be neat, as would an f20c, or maybe a ca18det? Worlds of motors comes to mind for that chassis, seeing as I wouldn't mind owning one, but I would stay volvo, have fun with that, then throw something else in.

Sure why not? Not many people swap ca's in anything, i personally only knew of one local car and that was Jordan T's. He said to be different, none of those motors, except the ls, are swapped into anything to often.

Im with Joe, I dont think any of these cars will ever be finished.

As for a motor, ca18ftmfw. Why? Because, I am that fucking baller. LSx is gay, everyone and their mother has a 2jz. f20c is gay, 3.8l have been put into 90million chassis, I dont like v10s.

So I say go with Joe and pick up a CA or stay volvo.

Cody, I haven't seen him say anything about wanting to make outrageous power and a ca in its stock form is better then what his volvo puts out.
It's no thang, I have no experience with those motors as it is, he only said he wanted to be different
