akskibum82 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 may as well graft on an 850 AWD drive train, then you can keep all that power on the pavement instead of sending it up in smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickster151 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 may as well graft on an 850 AWD drive train, then you can keep all that power on the pavement instead of sending it up in smoke.Indeed. The smoke will not be coming from the pavement. It will be coming from the weak Volvo AWD system.I'd say if he were intrested he should research what Charles [Che' Admin] is doing. I believe he is using a EVO Center Diff or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did put enough torque into the front wheels (was in FWD mode) that it tore the entire passenger side shock assembly out and the wheel proceeded to enter the fender and door area. So - his problem wasn't the trans!Yes - I even work on Christmas so here are some more pics!We've all lost a knuckle or two while working on our engines. Nothing that a couple Heinekens won't cure!!! Slowly breaking it down...Take a look at my Exh. Manifold gasket(s) which are probably original. This is how it was when I took the manifold off. If you look close enough, you can see that I had a tad bit of exhaust leak on one and five. Also notice that white gummy stuff along the head gasket!When I get a bit bored with the Engine stuff, I throw stuff on the buffer. I took the RIP that I got from Doug K. last week and threw it on the buffer for a mirror shine. Also put a bit o' spice on the Thermo housing that was originally polished by VolFan (quality work). Look for a bunch of clean polished stuff on this engine. It's theraputic! Although, seeing CJ's powder coated gear sure makes me rething things a bit!!!Merry Christmas Guys!!Scott C.

rodrigo Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 WOW...700 on a factory trans is pretty impressive.and the RIP kit looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legbend Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Where'd you get the M66 and how much was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra_runner Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Where'd you get the M66 and how much was it?I got it brand new for $850 shipped, but I am not allowed to say where it came from. That was part of the deal. I also got a brand new S60R exhaust manifold for $118 shipped.The basis for undertaking this project was based on prices like this. I would not be doing this if I had to pay $4K~ish just for the above two parts. I figured - what the heck give it a whirl!Scott C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
