I've just picked up an Amazon wagon that has been sitting since '97.
It came without an engine or trans, but luckily I happen to have a B20 & M41 sitting the garage.
It is a ways from getting back on the road, but I have a couple of questions.

1. Rear end ratios. I've searched and have found the question, but never a definitive answer: I'd like to change it to something like 3.90 or even 4.10 would be OK. The Spicer rear end seems to be a bit of an orphan. Was this rear used in any other cars? What ring and pinion sets would be compatible?

2. The drivers door is kind of beat up, is the front door of the wagon the same as the 4 door sedan? The Volvo green book says they are "similar". Someone on ebay is selling a wagon door and indicates that it is unique.
