Big Will or anyone else this far on the subframe odyssey, a few questions; 1. did you end up having to leave the old bushing outer sleeves in place to use poly replacements/ 2. if you had your subframe blasted, did you have to hone or polish the bushing bores or protect them during the cleaning process? Thanks

woah4 saw your questions to lookforjoe about engine oil cooler conversion. am working on the same project, using his expertise of course. be glad to share any info I come up with in the process, sourcing parts, whatever. I have had some luck finding the right pipes down here in the Pick and Pulls. feel free to PM me if you want. Andy

I am in the process of renewing the rear suspension on a 98 V70XC. it appears that the v70r and XC rear subframe components are common. I want to replace al least the dynamic bushings for the upper and lower control arms and the stays,#15. I see that sources have been identified for most of these bushings. Haven't found a spare subframe to work with so working with the one I have. Was the bead blasting The question is that if poly options are not available for all locations would it be better to go with all OEM or is there a combination that would be optimal? On a related note when the subframe is dropped what fuel or other related components such as the pump and related lines should be replaced when access is at it's best? Will continue to follow the topic. Tks for all the research that has been done by those who are ahead of me in this process.

I know this is late in the sequence of your project, but. Doing the oil pan and oil cooler upgrade to a 98 V70XC. It's already been converted to FWD, bevel gear removed, auto trans bell housing converted, etc. What year or models water distribution pipe would work best for the cooler conversion. Is the feed pipe pictured a modification necessary for the cooler or other mods you have done? If I need all the parts in addition to the water pipe is VIVA's kit the best option? I don't have the same savvy as you when it comes to knowing where to look for individual pieces. Any input appreciated Andy

Has anyone come across a source for a plug for the bung on the exhaust manifold or have one to sell? 16x1.5 can't seem to locate on in san antonio
