The Rudezon team took their custom Volvo Amazon 122 powered by a Evinrude 300XP two-stroke V8 out for a test drive. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=7721\">previous update<\/a> they only showed the engine running inside the car. Now you can hear the two-stroke V8 running through the custom built expansion chamber exhaust. The car is built to drag race using a SFI Spec 25.4B tube chassis with a modified two-speed Powerglide transmission and Volvo\/Dana rear end.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\"
