855 R ManualTrawling Ebay, only to find a rather overpriced, and shall we say, overdescribed engine?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-850-S70-...item1c0e5bcd14
Must have come from the only 850 ever to have a rotted out floorpan! If the car was that bad, what does it say about the quality of the (potentially 400bhp) engine? Talk about polishing shi'ite.

Thanked 975 Times in 771 PostsI just asked the seller this question, just because I'm feeling particularly cheeky tonight!
Hi, I just wondered what mods can you do to get 400bhp without replacing the rods and pistons and rebuilding the engine completely? Thanks for any info!

Here's the answer I received from the seller:
Hi, can't say exactly what is done, I actually never got
round to doing what I wanted to with my car. From
talking to guys who specialise in tuning volvos, all that is
required to get 375+bhp is a remap plus correct
induction and exhaust set up. Was quoted around £800
about 3yrs back.
So you see fellas, 375bhp (plus) is so easily achievable
