    This is great! My dad used to have 122s. I remember the last one from my early childhood. It was a red 1967 four door. Always loved these things.

    Well, I got some more work done! Finished the welding/body work aspect of my tail light conversion.

    I like the older pre-1963 tail lights a bit better, more of a hot rod look and also they are much more rare. The older ones dont have a reverse light, but thats fine because I'm relocated it anyway. I like the '50's look of the pre '63 lights...

    Left: pre-'63
    Right: '64-'68


    The older lights use different mounting points so I had to build and weld new tabs to the QT panels.

    Any reason you went w/KA24DE instead of the 234T?
    I like these kinds of builds because I've a bit of a Volvo guy myself, having owned 3 850s & 3 960s.
    I'm going to keep an eye on this thread!

    Re: Dead's 1966 Volvo 122 Amazon Saloon w/Nissan KA24DE

    I know Volvo motors up to 1975... LOL... I know the body's well, but thats about it...

    The original plan was a motor from a V70/S70 R, but the RWD trans is a one year from Sweden. About $3000 for a 5 speed. Cant justify that.

    Plan 2 was a highly built Volvo B-20 Turbo. After figuring pricing, it would have cost me $8000-10,000 to get the power I wanted (300whp) and that was still with a 4 speed.

    The KA I pulled from my 1991 S13 when I swapped in a SR20DET, so the motor was free. I can get it to 300whp for much less and if it brake, I can go to a wrecker down the road. Ultimately an SR20 will make it's way in, but this motor also has a small bit of sentimental value to it since it was the motor I learned to drift with. I'm sure I'll kill it someday, but when I do, I'll just go get another one and call it a day. Volvo parts are not as easy and not as cheap.

    I still dream of a turbo 5 cylinder, but I will only do it when a trans is not $3K...

    There's guys out there hooking the WC T5 up to the whiteblocks like they do with the redblocks, not sure about the details tho, are you on turbobricks?

    Honestly, I have never been able to find a good Volvo forum that had RWD cars. Just FWD. I would love to talk to some vintage Volvo guys though!

    Turbobricks is biased towards RWD & Swedespeed is biased towards FWD but TB is the site w/all of the crazy whiteblock swap info. Like Carl Buchka's T5 Whiteblock swapped 242 or Chris Wiita's turbo 6304 turbo 965. Those are some AMAZING build threads.

    Sooo... I did pick these up a while back. A set of (2002?) Acura RSX Limited seats. Actually really nice and comfy! One has a blow airbag (like I care... haha) and a small rip, but it can be repaired. I got them for a whopping $60 bucks for the pair! Will be super easy to mount in the Volvo with the flat floor pans.

    Sorry, no more update on this ride... I have started to clean it out, but time is a killer these days.



    And this is how I'm actually using them at the moment... haha...
