This is my 1965 Volvo 122s

I got this car when i was about 15 years old. It originally was all stock. It had a B18 in it with dual sidedrafts. Small piped exhaust and stock tires and wheels.

Engine: The engine is a B20 out of a newer volvo. It was bored .060 over. It has a High Torque Isky Racing cam, an IPD ceramic coated header, Aftermarket pistons, valves and other components. The intake is a cannon intake topped with a 2 barrel webber. It also has an IPD aluminum finned valve cover. The ignition is new but basically OEM parts.

Exterior: The headlamps are Hella Lenses with PIAA H4 Bulbs. It also has IPD's Cibie driving lamps hidden in the grills that i painted black.

The wheels are 15x7 cragar SS wheels. They have 205/60R15 tires mounted on them, BF Goodrich Radial TA. It used to have Goodyear Eagle F1's but they were ruined due to poor alignment in the front end.

I plan to eventually make this car a Buick 215 V8 Volvo. I just haven't had the time lately to start the project. If any of you other members with V8 Volvos have any helpful hints or sites you know of, please let me know.

Thanks for looking. There are pics on the second page.
