One of the guys at the shop just finished his project and these are the pic's.  He had the Volvo with the factory red block and turbo that started smoking...then the 7MGTE fell into our laps as partial payment for a 1JZ twin turbo swap on a Supra...now we had a 6cyl turbo engine and trans without a home sooooo, in it went!   We had to make the engine/trans mounts and the oil pan, other than that it went in pretty easy!   The car is WAY more fun with power! 

Wow,  I cant even imagine how to do that.  Do you Cut and splice the drive shaft.  Isn't it front wheel drive?,  How to you make a oil pan.  I cant even get stock oil pans not to leak. I'd probaly get it all done and the hood wouldn't close and it would have 4 reverse speeds and one forward sc

  The oil pan had to be modified from a mid sump to a rear sump.  We cut the mid sump off, extended the oil pump pick up and made a new sump that cleared the subframe without cutting, probably wouldnt have to do that with a Fox body Mustang double sump 5.0 motor.  Kevin measured and made the engine mounts from steel and billet aluminum.  For the trans mount he just used a combination of the Volvo and Supra mount that completly looked factory.  A modified factory Supra intercooler mounted infront of the Volvo radiator.  The shifter sat about 3 inches too far forward so he made a custom offset shifter shaft to clear the hole in the tunnel like factory.  The Volvo has a 2 piece driveshaft with a support bearing in the middle, he mocked up the shaft in the car and brought it to a driveline shop here in town and they were able to graft the two with no problems. Stock rear end.  The speedo runs off a sensor in the rear end so that was set and the stock tach. was used with a electronic tach. adapter.  The coolant temp gauge just needed a Volvo sending unit in the Supra engine.  No a/c or power steering to worry about, a cool 3 inch stainless side exit exhaust with V band clamped cat. and test pipe...passed emissions without a converter .  That engine is sooo smooth running, you would never know it was a solid mount..no bad vibs at all!  The whole thing came out really great and only in a couple months from start to finish in his spare time!!   Now he's busy working on his Corrado.

How in the world did you get the car through emission ck without a converter or did you do what I think you did. They wouldn't even talk to Anthony when he tried to get his Mexi Bug  through and it passed but it didn't have a converter. It failed

Yep..just a tailpipe test.  Most of the time when you go through the test center and the tester slides the mirror under a vehicle to see the converter they are no where near the right place.  I guess they pass you on the converter just cause they don't know what one is or should look like, after that they just care about the numbers comming out the tail pipe.  In Atlanta it would be a different story, they are closer to the full on IM240 testing...would of had to run on a dyno and had several parts of the engine sampled (rpm,load,temp...) but not in good ol Chatt-town!!
