I'm pretty sure you can without any issues, but my question is: Can the short block of a 1999 V70XC be swapped for the short block on a 1995 850 turbo? I figure that if the head on the 850 was swapped onto the '99' block, it would work in the '95' without any issues.

Update on 3D gear:
It worked fine until I let my sister-in-law borrow the car last winter. I think she turned the rear wiper on while it was frozen to the rear window, when I brought it home a few months later, the rear wiper gear was stripped out and the front air dam was ripped where it supposedly ...

....maybe procrastination is a vitue too....

Well all, sorry I hadn't gotten back with you on this issue. I had done a lot of procrastinating, but finally decided to put this issue to rest. I had been thinking for about 1-1/2 years (I know, what the hell is the hurry right?) that the overheating issue was due to a cheap waterpump installed by ...
