iBoost Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Recently my dad gave me his side impact crashed 2001 V70 T5 which I am going to put in my 855 I am in the process of removing the engine and other things other than the camshaft sensor, and old style intak manifold what will I need to make this motor work? Im keeping my M56H so I was told by Justin (Chilled Man) that I can keep my power steering rack do I just pop out that metal plate where the distributor/cap/rotor would usually go and put on mine or do I have to grind that plate out.. Also unfortunately due to an enemy of my fathers, the car has had bleach poured into its gas tank and we have flushed the tank and replaced the fuel pump it drives but it seems like the transmission is redlining at 4 thousand RPM hoping that would Limp mode? Is this engine completely fawked, seals and such..from the bleach? anyways sorry for the long post Ill post pics later and update this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo5.0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 do I just pop out that metal plate where the distributor/cap/rotor would usually go and put on mine or do I have to grind that plate out.. If you take a screwdriver and poke it right through the center of the rear cam plug, you can pry it out. You'll need to grind or drill out the rear of the cam slightly to allow the plate that the rotor button bolts to, to fit in. Also may need to use the cam position sensor from the 850. Again you will need to enlarge the end of the cam to make it fit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzimark Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Or you can switch to COP and ditch the distributor, like you should :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(n)A-GAME Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Solid lifter heads=much better flow than your 850. Rods are only part of the equation and if you are using a decent tune you won't bend them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlimy Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 fail fail fail. 01 motor swap is a walk in the park and 20 times better than that pos in ur car cam sensor bolts up fine no problem, drill and tap the intake cam for the dizzy and use all your accessories, done. so essentially you will be using the bare longblock from the 01.

mdlimy Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 what coilpacks do you have any how do you know what coilpacks tt will support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBoost Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 what coilpacks do you have any how do you know what coilpacks tt will support? OEM >5k miles 2001 T5 coilpacks and im assuming TT will support a variety of dif kinds... I almost got my head off no time to work on it hey MDLIMY any idea if the 01 rods and pistons are any stronger than my 97's? I know about the cooling windows in the crankcase and the lighter crank etc etc etc tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the cooling windows in the crankcase and the lighter crank etc etc etc tho from what i can see they look stronger. doubt it will support different types of coil packs, unless they are actually smart for once and allow different preset settings for different coilpacks or allow you to change the settings on them...but we will see i guess, not like it matters to me, im more anti-tt than any single person on this forum :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess im going to pull the motor (Already in progress) get it all nice and spiffy, then throw it in the 850 (after I get me a 960 TB and 850 na plate and port/polish the shttt out of the 01 head Going to grab me a GT30 or Gt2871r to slap on that bad boy (I got a GT35r that needs a rebuild, thinkin it might be a bit to much tho ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdlimy Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Same PN, so, no. you are going by the book, i am going by what i have seen with my bare eyes from motors i have torn down, the rods out of my 01 are NOT the same as the rods out of a 97 motor, along with many other things vadis says i have found to be untrue.
