I don't want to go with transverse configuration. Engine stays inline with tranny and drive shaft. I will try to acomplished real rwd set up.

I went shopping today to scrap yard.
Picked up 130 lbs of square tubing for rear subframe set up.
540 rear end is going in. Hoping this weekend but I am not sure If weather permits.
BTW I work for with guy who buys and sells all kinds of volvo stuff .
I can get my hands on as we speak . 2.4 lpt 2002 s60 engine , s80 turbo engine 2001 , 16v block non turbo yet 1992 . and all bunch of 5 cyl from 90's
S80 turbo engine Is one of the favorites ideas .
Now question. I was wondering if ARD would be able to tune S80 ECU and dis activate all the immobilizer crap and adapt cluster from S80 .
Using S80 harness.
Any suggestions? Always open for new ideas

Not sure about that. Front doesn't and that's what drives rear . I am not a big fan of AWD volvo's , audi , subaru . Did it right way

^But you can adapt the rear subframe from a AWD to teh FWD body.

You can almost bolt it up. Need to get some brackets form AWD v70 version .
But that rear end set up is just wearied. Plus LSD is a must
