Read the fourth *sticky* topic at the top of this section and you'll probably get a better result.

Hi Tay, welcome to volvoforums.

With the last 5 words in your statement, you may want to steer clear of swaping a motor. A turbo car's computer is so much different than a NA car's motor, the computers would NEVER work with each other. I will say, sir, please back away from the car.

Actually, you can get a used motor from a jy for under $200. Just go that route and get a motor that will fit the car. I believe the 850 has a better body than S70. The S70 looks better but the 850 has a lot of better parts for some reason.
