Project Swedish Meatball is our take on modern hot rodding. We’re taking a 1994 Volvo 940 wagon and slapping some good old American horsepower under the hood. The tiny European engine and transmission will be replaced by an LS-based engine that will be getting a custom turbo system for good measure. We’re also going to swap in a manual transmission into the Volvo so we can hit the autocross course and have fun cruising the streets. Big 3 Racing is on board to make everything happen. Follow along as we turn this wagon from a sensible vehicle to a boosted animal!
