When it comes right down to it, a supercharged V8 engine stuck into a car is a winning combination every single, stinkin’ time. You absolutely cannot deny it. It doesn’t matter if it is a Corvette, a Ford Falcon, or Acura Integra. Blown V8’s are all about brutally obnoxious, tire shredding, fear-filled, horsepower. The other day, I came across this Volvo 740 which I believe was built in Sweden, though I can’t be sure because I don’t speak or read the language. I typically just pick out the words that look like English or Gearhead slang, and make up the rest to fill in the blanks. Hey whatever works, amirite? Let’s get down to it – Here are the stats that you’ll want to take a close look at:
355 csb med rullkam, 8tums stötstänger, I profil stakar,blower kolvar TNF smidd vev, 6/71Weiand Blower med om svetsat insug dubbla edelbrock, öppna headers,Brodix 292 turbo toppar med 2,05in 2,02 ut ventiler.Kompressor kam. Crane rullvippor 1,6, elektrisk vatten pump, Msd tändsystem varvstopp vid 6500 rpm Aeromotive bränslepump o Regulator
th400 “MAM” manuellt ventilhus,Trancebrake 10tums conv. 4000rpm i stall. Griffin kylare med dubbla elfläktar Lustgas NOS med seperat bränsle system Det åxå Aeromotive.
Now, you may or may not have noticed that they are not written in English. So, let’s just pick out the important bits and see what we can gather, shall we?
355 / 6/71 Weiand Blower / Headers / Brodix / Edelbrock / Aeromotive / TH400 / Trans-brake
Yeap, even in a foreign language, that combo looks perfect to me. Along with love, Gearhead slang appears to be the universal language. So, if you like cars, engines, or … air, you will probably enjoy watching this video. After all, Gearheads around the world cannot resist the sound or sight of a gross display of horsepower. Enjoy!
