Gettign the 1800 axle to bolt up will really be the only problem. And it's a biggie. The axle ratio in the wagons is much shorter just because the wagons were intended as more of a utilitarian vehicle and Volvo figured wagons wouldn't see as much high speed travel as the sedans.

Getting the suspension mounts changed though is not gonna be easy, and you better be damn sure to get it just right. When you do though, you'll be happy with likely better brakes, and more relaxed high speed travel. Especially with the overdrive in place.
