brilliant set of photos , hope you get 500bhp when its finished . Does the S70R have a dual mass flywheel and what state was it in when you dismantled the transmision ? I have a V70 D5 and think I have a knackered DMF so if my 163bhp can do that I can imagine that an R engine would destroy one completely after letting rip a few times , what will you do with the rebuilt engine , can a standard DMF withstand 500bhp or will you fit a solid flywheel ? Am looking for ideas on this because the standard DMF costs over £700 so something that can handle 500bhp , what does that cost ?

How did upgraded the S70R LSD? Based in the M59 or you have changed to an M56?

I“m curious about the evolutionary potential of the M59 viscous coupling...
