Ok, it's my senior year of high school and me and my buddies had a great sceme to buy a used school bus and take it on a massive road trip. Alas we ran into insurance problems and cost problems (5mpg really would cost a ton ) so it's highly doubtful it's gonna happen. Then I got to thinking that a station wagon would be the way to go for road trips, but i'd want like a grand Torino that would also get 5mpg So, then I rememberd about Michael Yount and his volvo 5.0......
So the morale of the story is that I'm thinkin since my car has a salvage title, i might pirate it for the engine, trans, and what ever else you need to swap to a volvo and get an old volvo wagon and make that my road trip machine. What i want to know is a) how overly optimistic am i being? b) how much is it gonna cost? c) are there other options you guys have? d) do you know of any good links to volvo 5.0 swaps?
Thanks a lot, I look forward to the replies...

the alterior motive of the plan is also to give me a new project, since i don't have the money to make my car a real project 'go fast' car i'm content with re building it multiple times in differnt configurations.
