    T-6 Engine swap in a V-70 XC.....? V70-XC70

    Whoops! 2 many enters.....

    OK, I have this great condition 98 V-70 XC that is in very good shape. Has anyone yet tried to stuff a T-6 engine and trans into the XC's or a V-70 T-5 or the likes?

    I would convert the car over to a front wheel drive system, and eliminate the rear drive components. Basically I would be purchasing the T-6 engine, trans, all accesories, ECU, and all misc. plumbing.

    I would from memory need to add a larger intank fuel pump, but I do not think much else is needed.... Exhaust, ... Seems about right?

    My current motor combo is generating ~240-245 HP, and the T-6 has so much more potential with less $$ to reach a 300 HP level

    Core for core, I will make money selling the XC hardware, and maybee enough to do the swap in it's entirity!?

    Crazy if possible at all?

    I will measure ~roughly the dimentions of a T-6 and the XC's engines and transmissions....

    Thanks!

    Mike

      Chipped, the T5 should get you to 285-290hp and it would drop right in.

      The T6 is just a bit too long. Crank up the boost on the XC. Use a G-Valve.

        Yes, a T-5 would be a much easier swap! I am impressed with the T-5 we have in our family. I feel the XC will take the stock T-5 with 12-13 PSI and other mods. It seems softer in the low end, but once at 3000 + it will take the V70 T-5..... 40-100 MPH, with NO wheel spin.

        I think I will throw a boost gauge on teh T-5 and see what it is doing for peak boost.

        Thanks ALL!

        Mike
