Why on earth would you consider a Ford tranny in a Volvo? You can get a used 4+OD, or later Volvo true 5 speed.

I myself am driving with an M-47, had it installed to replace an AW71, quite a fine transmission. Appearantly the M-90 is this step up in terms of integrety and overall strength, if your willing to put in the fabrication time. I do believe that one might first cosider only Volvo stock for your Volvo, with exception of Getrag. So i've read on. One note for the M-47, if this is what you choose, overfill it with quality lubricant.
