According to the owner, the 2JZ “is not exciting anymore.”
The love story of a Volvo 245 Wagon and a Toyota Supra’s 2JZ-GTE engine is one that may or not make the headlines. But, this one’s a ridiculously good idea.
The 2JZ is a hot topic on automotive news sites, not because of its history but because of the replacement that Toyota revealed back in January. Although the 2JZ has a successor, it is still utterly irreplaceable to its fans. It is a strong engine that can last for more than 20 years.
Volvo has a reputation for durability. Volvo’s 200 series cars are built like tanks, and anyone who has had the chance to experience one can attest.
These traits are what make a 2JZ engine replacement in a Volvo 245 Wagon a celebration to behold – a match made for heaven. Some love stories end in a bittersweet way, however, as with many other love stories. According to the Volvo 245 owner, the 2JZ was “not exciting anymore.” The owner quickly found a replacement. As you can see, the 2JZ was replaced by a Lamborghini Gallardo V10 engine.
It caused three problems for the owner, who had to swap the engine-swapped Volvo. The first and most obvious problem is that the 5.0-liter V10 engine block is too large for the engine bay. The engine block is cracked because it was from an accident. The owner is also having difficulty finding the right gearbox for his V10.
Despite these three problems, the Volvo owner is positive about the project. Let’s wait to see if this project moves forward.
