i currently have a poorly c70 1999 2.4 in need of an engine. i have seen http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-V70-T5-2-3-TURBO-ENGINE-AUTO-GEARBOX-1996_W0QQitemZ140318732022QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Ca rsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20aba5eef6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A2108%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A3%7C294%3A50

will this fit? thanks in advace tone

It'll fit ok,depends what you intend for it. If you're going to convert it to a T5 then there will be other issues.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

i just would use just the block and head, i would keep all my ancillarys turbos etc. would this be ok.

[AlanG]

I would assume so mate,but never having done it myself I can't say for sure. They're a helpful and experienced bunch on here and I'm sure someone will come along and keep you right.......good luck..

thats the old style engine pre me7
youll need everything including the loom and ecu off this donor car.
stick with getting the exact replacement matey as it will save loads of heartache :)

trust me ive been there

:stupid:

Seriously - if you want a T5 just buy one (the whole car that is)

[2-jaffacake-tone]

i dont care what engine it is at long as it fits and runs. not bothered about the hole t5 thing. as its just a run about car there just seems to be more 850 t5 lumps about.

[FatLadZ]

thats the whole thing
trying to get it to run once it is in.
see video below to prove i know what im talking about :)

If it's already got a 2.4 lump in it then just replace like for like that way you wont have all the additional headache's of trying to get it plumbed in properly. Give places like Salvo or Reedview a call they're always breaking Volvo's and will probably have a suitable engine in for you.
