HOW Many V8 powered Volvos are out there?

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the delayed response.

I swapped an 89 5.0 HO and "built" AOD into our '83 245GL back in 1995. It was my wife's car until 2007 when she moved up to a 2005 S80 in 2007. It's been a great car! It burns a little oil on #2 cyl (fouling the plug every 2500 miles or so), but other than that it's been good . . . until it got hit back in SEP. Still trying to decide what to do--fix it, sell as is, or find a newer 245 (89 or newer) and transfer everything over.

Not sure how I was able to find time to do the swap back in the day, but glad I did it!

Steve A-
