Swapping V70R engine into 850 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mathieu on  Tue Jan 6 06:52 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Welcome all!

I own a 1994 850GLT.
I found a used V70R B5244 engine and I am planning to make a swap.

The problem is that this V70 has an automatic transmission (AW50AWD - I suppose) and my 850 has manual.

Could anyone tell me if my gearbox will fit with the new engine?

I know that even if it will be possible, my gearbox and axles (I don't know if this is the right word - sorry for my english) won't last long with nM increased so drasticly.

My friend owns a V40 with 500nM and standard T4/5 Sachs clutch (240mm) - it works fine, I am afraid about the gearbox itself.

If anyone could give me any advice or has some expierence I would be very gratefull.
