Project 850 T5 AWD

Why didn't you leave the bore with 81mm?

I have yet to come across a 850 block that hasn't got badly worn cylinder bores.

Could have just used the 850AWD block and just pop the S60R crank and pistons straight in afaik, but by boring out the block, Rob has started with a freshly honed set of bores, watching with interest what this setup makes power wise once finished.

I've got a V70AWD 2.5lpt engine with 160k miles on it but the bores are more and likely worn so as you said boring out a 850 block I start off with a as good as new engine. I'm hoping to make around the 300-330bhp at the wheels which should be good for a chocolate AWD system

I'm assuming that the P1 V70 AWD had the same B5254T4, as it's older sister the 850 AWD which I heard was a good engine for getting some good easy power out of and one may yet grace Gul's engine bay at some point in the future I hope.
