M56 will go into any P80. You do have to flash the ECU for cruise

About $500 to get it delivered to you, recoverable in parts !

Somebody please step up to the plate here.
Hammered for $525, so even with the fees it's under $750 out the door. Given the state of the used car market and the rarity of the car, I don't think it was a bad buy if it was somebody local. I didn't watch it go, so can't tell if it was a scrapper going for the cat converter.

I've discovered this band in 1983 : a big slap ! Volvolugnut : 10 MVS points !
That is quite a song. I didnt know what a barchetta was. For real because you posted it on here, i thought it was a name of a volvo 850. LOL

How do you put an M56 on a V90?

Two sheets of plywood, rope , and a friend to help lift.

An m56 would fit though right? Or would it require mod? Or is the m56 too compact (weak) for the likes of the big i6?
