If that's the original engine, I believe the "Ford V8" in your Volvo is made by Yamaha - or at least under licence to Yamaha. That's what's in the XC90 and S80's.

Consumer Reports magazine did an investigation a couple of yrs ago on how American an "American" truck was: the outcome? - the Honda Ridgeline was more American than a GMC Sierra! The Sierra was (I won't have the number right - but close enough) only 40% USA parts and labour, Mexico and Canada being most of it. The Ridgeline was something like 70% USA-originated.

You never can tell these days.
