V8-Trans-Rear switch 900

IN reference to the 960 with the S80 "TwinCharger" THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see your hard work pay off like that. I had always wanted to upgrade a volvo to something too strong powerful and fast, and make a sleeper. My idea that I want to try is a late model Ford supercharged Lighting or Mustang V8 with a 6speed manual with a ford 9inch rear for a late model 740/940 sedan. I have seen some volvos with small ford V8's and i was pleased to see it is possible. the 6speed trans i cant probably use a mustang type with some workings for the shifter and clutch. now the rear i would hopefully swap out and build similar mounts as the volvo has amd bolt it in. and finally upgrading the brakes and suspension to handle the added 2 to 3 times power increase. i will most certainly have to reeniforce the chassis and possible add a saftey cage. I was hoping to upgrade and have about 450 to 500 HP to a ground with upgraded hopefully Volvo wheels. The exterior will remain as stock as possible. the exhaust would be a quiet one. Granted it would be far from stock, but i want something different then everyone else. to me its not how loud your stereo or muffler is or how much stickers and plastic you add to your car, but its whats under the hood and makes it go that really counts. if anyone else has any thoughts, experience, or ideas that would lead me down the right path i would greatful.
