We know there are a bunch of us driving converted Swedish Iron; and some mentioned happily for long term noting postings here.To Start: A Volvo pal and I did a couple in '96, one 350/375 Chevy, and mine, more docile, a 302/225 Ford-both 4-spd Auto. The Chevy ran like a scalded dog, scary. Both cars had stock 3.73 rears, non-posi. I've still got the Ford @ 55K on V8. Now w/ resources and kits like Converse's make this upgrade almost a bolt-in. We used Carbs back then, so less wiring, sensors etc.
Just wondering on a quiet holiday lull,,,,,how many wilder V8 conversions have we seen?
The Swedes are the most prolific.........of course, this was online- a tube frame clip from firewall forward w/ suspension, and a 454 BB Chevy in a 444, w/ a Wild-eyed Swede in the picture.
I've seen a 240 Bertone w/ a 427 and a thumper cam. Innocent looking Sleeper!
A 544: Article in IPD distributing features--Fellow in Hawaii had inserted a 3.1 Camaro V6, with 4-bbl carb,5-speed, slick and well matched.

What have you seen out there???
