Such an unassuming Volvo 240 Estate on the exterior that you wouldn’t give it a 2nd look, unless you happen to see the gear stick or what’s hiding in the engine bay...

Yes that’s right a 2JZ hiding inside the tank

I saw a $$$$ LS-swap in one of these here in California . The car looked pristine and done right.

If someone's calling it a sleeper it's always either an LS or a 2JZ. Always.

What always bothered me about that line was, why was he surprised? Both the turbo and non-turbo models had a 2JZ engine code... What, wer e you expecting some shitty mill from a Geo Metro?

I think he was expecting no engine at all, given the condition of the car when it was on the flatbed

I mean, I suppose that could be an explanation, but this is the same script that elsewhere alluded to SR20 engines being used in Honda Civics (when throwing a turbo kit onto a B-series engine would be far easier and at least as effective).

The 240 looks better though just for retro vibes
