I just bought a very clean 1998 S70 T5. Engine is B523T3 and had a timing belt failure. Vin is a "53".
When I search for engines for a 98 B523T3, no other years cross or show up. If I search the same engine for a 99, price is $500 to $750 more.
The post below states 850 engines with HPT will work. I can find a 98 T5, but have to drive a ways to get it. Trying to figure out if I can use another year and what I will have to switch from the old to new.
The wisdom and input on the board is always great and thanks for the information.
