T-6 Engine swap in a V-70 XC.....? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Boostd on  Sun Mar 16 23:23 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Whoops! 2 many enters.....

OK, I have this great condition 98 V-70 XC that is in very good shape. Has anyone yet tried to stuff a T-6 engine and trans into the XC's or a V-70 T-5 or the likes?

I would convert the car over to a front wheel drive system, and eliminate the rear drive components. Basically I would be purchasing the T-6 engine, trans, all accesories, ECU, and all misc. plumbing.

I would from memory need to add a larger intank fuel pump, but I do not think much else is needed.... Exhaust, ... Seems about right?

My current motor combo is generating ~240-245 HP, and the T-6 has so much more potential with less $$ to reach a 300 HP level

Core for core, I will make money selling the XC hardware, and maybee enough to do the swap in it's entirity!?

Crazy if possible at all?

I will measure ~roughly the dimentions of a T-6 and the XC's engines and transmissions....

Thanks!

Mike
