Unfortunately, you can't install the B18 crossmember because the B16 idler arm for the steering is mounted to the B16 crossemember. When Volvo updated the 544/P210 for the B18, 1 of the changes was to move the idler arm to the right frame rail.

IIRC, you can use the B16 motor mount brackets, but you'll have to slot the mounting holes in the crossmember.

It's easier if you use the motor mount brackets from a B18 544/P210.

FYI, although it's hard to tell and they usually aren't marked, the motor mount brackets aren't the same side to side.
