I doubt there would be the room in a 440 for one, I wondered a long time ago about mating one too the M90 RWD box and fitting it too a 940

If you ever did this the place for it would be in the rear not the front !

I thought the electronics in the engine would be the biggest issue. Unless a seperate, custom made ecu was created to support it.

Nothing's impossable!

Thats the easy bit, just swipe the ecu & loom from the donar car, I know a guy done a V6 conversion on a Civic, thats all he done was run the 2 ECU's side by side, one for the car, the other for the engine

A big problem on volvo systems where the ECU communicates with lots of other modules and then there is the immobilser etc etc ..

Can't you tell that it's out of style? Should I get a set of white wall tires? Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
