Ive been searching through the forums for the past hour trying to find a WRITE-UP (such as pics and step by step directions) on doing the M56H swap on a 850 T-5R. My name is Justin I have recently bought a Black 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R and am working to finish the Stage 0 process on the car.I am FULLY aware im a noob for those who have a need to remind me. Being that ive been on the M3forum & bimmerforums for a while i am FULLY aware on how to use the search button:D But if anyone could point me in the right directions such as links or elsewhere to find what im looking for it would be greatly appriciated!
By the way... there are ALOT of E36 DIY sites and great manuals (Bentley Manuals ect.) are there any manuals or sites for the 850 T-5R? THANKS!!!

No such thing exists AnthonyR started something to that effect but never got any pictures up. If you need a pictoral guide I dont thing you'll have to easy of a time getting it done(no offense). Get a haynes manual and try and get vadis; between the two you shouldn't have too much trouble.

I was able to get a lot of good information out of this post, the pictures are great. The swap is on a C70 but almost everything is the same or similar on an 850. If you already know your way around other cars you should be able to fill in the gaps no problem. Good luck with the swap man, let us know how it goes, I still haven't done mine yet. Snap some pictures!

If you can make friends with a mechanic, get the AllData printout, step by step guide with pictures. Really helped me.
