Volvo for a buggy, well that will be a first more than likely. My opinion would be parts and expense when it breaks something. Do your research on the motors longevity and see from that if it will be cost effective to do. The motors make good HP numbers. The Wild Kids |

I say......why not? I am sure there are better choices out there but if you have one, go for it. You will need to see who makes an adapter for them. You may have a hard time finding that. R |

Hey if you need some parts let me know. I have 2 wagons that I am driving now and one of my best friends has several of them with plenty of parts! He was a volvo mech for several years and still works on them on the side. Go turbo! |
