Tomuch5oost Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have also read that the s70 can be maited to the t5 trans out of the ford mustang ... with an adapter plate what is the best route to go if I wanted to put a B5234T3 into a 240? two door ...

Aequitas_Veritas Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ask over on turbobricks.com, they know the RWD scene quite a bit better then us. I do know what you are talking about is possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okoye Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 depends on what rwd volvo you're attempting to do it in. there are a few guys that are using t6 from the s80's in the 960's as they use the same mounts. as far as the 250 and 740 go with the t5 motor you'd need custom mounts. as for the t5 mustang trans you'll need an adapter plate, throw out bearing and i forgot the last thing.

Users "Karl Buchka" and "Captain Bondo" on here have done whiteblock swaps into RWD Volvos. Karl and his brother swapped at T5 into a 242, and Captain Bondo had a T6 in his 245 "Homer" is in the process of swapping a T5 into his 244.

bassguy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 M90 out of a European market 960? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okoye Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 m90 can work but are extremely expensive, counting in shipping and the actual cost of parts. not to mention when something goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassguy Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I only mentioned it because it sits behind a RWD whiteblock motor. So for "stock" options, it's the only one, unless you want the weak crap (>250hp) M46 or M47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not to mention Robbie is putting a Whiteblock into an E30. There's also a member on here in the middle of a RWD swap on an 850. He's using a BMW transmission and a E39 rear end I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
