I Built The Perfect 1000HP Sleeper... This Is The FIRST DRIVE!

Today we button up a few things on the Volvo Sleeper: a whole new ignition system including relocated coilpacks, new spark plug wires, new vacuum routing, and a cleaned up engine harness. Then, we take the Volvo for its first official drive!

OTHER VIDS!!

I feel like it needs some sound insulation underneath the hood, so the whole car becomes super quiet when you put the exhaust into quiet mode

[DaOneJoel]

SEATBELT buddy, it's even a Volvo invention!

Other than that, this is an absolutely immense build.

I'm always so jealous when I see people that have basically any tool you can imagine at their garage so they can do anything they want. This is awesome

[keithparker]

Your craftsmanship is literally insane, huge amount of growth on your end from all these projects. Keep it up man!

A friend and I built a 244 in the late 80s, and a 264 in the early 90s.
Both 350 4 bolt main, double hump 1.94/ 1.5 heads, 350 hp 327 cam, suspension parts from IPD.
Blew the doors off rabbit GTs.
Weren’t the fastest things on the road, but surprised a lot of people. We had a great time with them for several years.
You brought back a lot of good memories, thanks.
Got a ‘78 262C Bertone Coupe in the shed I would like to pro-street some day.

I know it's been said plenty of times before, but I still just can't wrap my head around the level of growth this channel has seen over the years. I mean, think about it: Not that long ago you were sticking bolt-on parts on Miata's. Then you were fabricating tube frame chassis. Now you're putting an LS in a forty-year-old station wagon. Truly incredible. Keep doing what you're doing man.

An old saab sleeper would be sick too! Awesome vid as usual

[theuzrunner]

I'm extremely envious of the reaction Caleb gets when he pops the hood. But its more than well deserved. Keep it up!!!

I admittedly don't watch an awful lot of modified car content on YouTube but when I have seen "sleeper" builds of cars you can always spot like an oversized exhaust, the interior looks like its not stock at all, its sat lower than a stock model would, even at the front there's usually a fairly obvious inlet. This is for me the best true sleeper car I've seen so far. Amazing work!

[thorsrensen]

I wish I could be part of this environment where you meet with all the other guys. Amazing result from all your hard work, it is unbeliveable what you have created.

Did collision repair on
the 240 Volvos and 740s many years. These cars were engineered for the collision repair tech to make easy quick repairs to perfection because of Volvo engineering. You won't find a better car to do high quality collision repair like factory.

Brilliant work, we swedes love to see You guys at the other side of the pond, breath life into old volvos, The ultimate sleeper - me like !!😁

[IT_ODIS]

Classic gingium dogs t-shirt. I would buy that in a heartbeat. Epic video, epic Volvo.

[paulvollmer]

The quality of content lately has been so good. 👌 so excited for more builds, camping, track days etc.

[sadbois]

The amount of quality in the build but also in the video and montage is astonishing. Keep up the good work Caleb !

[TravisFabel]

Make sure your brake master cylinder does not have any preload on it.
If it's even slightly depressed, it blocks off the return so then when your brakes heat up from driving, the fluid expands applying the brake which then expands more from the brake being applied while driving etc etc etc... And you get massive brake drag until the wheels lock up.

[Frajmando]

Love the car, but please use seat belt

[rdelie]

I added the firewall strut braces to my 240 and it made a huge difference. I think you missed out on that opportunity to be honest. I still have love for you....

[manaphyonfire]

The reactions are priceless. Gotta love a good sleeper build.

[Porker]

The quality of builds every since you got this new shop has been insane. The fabrication is on point and I love it so much! Great work dude please keep it up!
