It's running!!!
Video is pretty boring but this was the first start.....running smooth. Still have to finish a few things before it can be driven.
A few pics of the exhaust painted and back on the car.
Also picked this up for my wife yesterday.....I am thinking it will get a 60 degree GM v6.....around 200hp or so.
67 volvo amazon
thanks!
A little bit more finished.
AC lines all crimped and installed
Looks like it belongs there.....Still unsure if I like the covers or not.
I like that they cover up all the coils and what not....I think I will like them better when they are repainted black.
I still need to find a new home for the cruise servo because the cable isn't long enough...well it is but the cable has to stretch over everything.
I am really looking forward to Tedfest!! Oh man, Beer and cookies!

thanks guys!! It has been great fun doing the swap.
No pictures from yesterdays work but....
Torqued the front wheel bearings, installed the brake master cylinder and lines, trimmed the engine covers some more.
I still need to decide if I am going to have the cruise control cable lay over the engine from the drivers side or if I should move the cruise servo.
I was able to get a set of e34 basket weaves with worn tires from a friend to use while I refinish my style 5s. I should be driving the e28 by this weekend.
thanks! I am really excited to start driving it. I am thinking I will really like it too.
I want the AC to be COLD with r134a so I upgraded the condenser to a newer cross flow type. I then made new lines that go from the GM compressor to condenser to drier and back to the stock evap in the car.
I am having the GM PCM control AC, fans, etc
The BMW speedo runs off a sensor in the diff.....completely separate from the engine stuff. Yes the speedo works...after a reflash with HPTuners.
Nice build!
