    Wasn't there a thread awhile back about someone putting a Volvo engine in a Milano?  I think doing the transplant the otherway around is a bit more
respectable.    The best "low buck" spuce up would be the transplant of a Ford V8 into the Volvo.  I just got an 85 Volvo 760 with this transplant done, and it
turns the sedate Volvo into one spicy swedish meatball!  Knocks your maturity level down just enough to make burnouts fun, and you find yourself in constant
search for Mustangs and Camaros at stoplights.
