Picked up a 6.0 for test fitting purposes.. Looks like it'll fit quite well with the 4L80E

A Volvo? Dude, you're nuts, that's just crazy.
I just caught wind of this thread, and happen to work at a Volvo dealer.
I can't wait to get beck to work and show the guys in the shop what you're doing with a 242!
Rock on man.

Havent touched the chassis in months.. finally got some time this weekend between Daddy duties to notch some tubes. I got the sub assembly for the coilover mounts made up.. then ran a couple 1.75" struts down to it from the top of the main hoop and two 1.65 supports from the sides of the main hoop. Crawling in and out of the car with the door bars in is a daunting task. Definitely took me about an hour and a half per tube.

Tell me honestly, you were sitting in the driver seat, bouncing her on your knee and making race car sounds. ;)

Out of curiosity, do you have more details on your other Volvo posted online anywhere? That one looks like an interesting build as well.
