Thats what I need as far as mounts and I just need a schematic in color with labeled wires and their locations for a 98 N/A S70 I think the one that I got screwed me up a little bit and I would really like one in color, I cant find one anywhere online and I dont have the chiltons manual for it

The left side 8624509 is the part# Thats the S80 one.
The right side doesn't have a mount it is only a rubber bumper.8646382 is the part # for that one.
My diagram is teh Volvo one but it doesn't show all the harnesses as a whole and all the wire colors I will need to know what exactly you need to pull it all up seperate.

Pics will be here soon just waiting on a camera, plus Kodak Easyshare makes my computer bug out so Im getting rid of that and Im going to try to upload them some other way once I get a camera... also Ill gladly pay a finders fee for Volans, I cant find em anywhere. Im also selling my daily driver because im not taking a low ball trade in for it from mr joe dealership and Im really into the AMG C63 so I need a down payment.Here is the link to my classified... https://volvoforums.com/m_103260/tm.htm stay tuned.

So how's the swap coming along? I have always been interested in this swap and will plan to do it one day if certain parameters can work 100%. As far as the Volans go, what are your thoughts on Comet's?

Well the swap is going along... not smoothly but going along, I have been waiting for a part from Volvo that I needed badly and they sent me the completely wrong part it want even for an S70. And I have always had a thing for Volans and I have had alot of help with Tech keping his eyes peeled for me and keeping me updated and I am currently bidding on a set on Ebay and checking Craigslist daily. Anyway Im still waiting on axles, motor mount, S80 ETM (electronic throttle module), and getting an exhaust made up for it and waiting for money to come in because I sold the Caddy and some random parts I had from the Cobra lying around. I work alot of hours so its hard to get alot done on my S70 but its getting done. Ill update you all as soon as somthing major gets completed..... Stay Tuned

Also I found some of my air ride stuff from a 04 celica I bagged about a year ago, I got the bags, valves,and the air cylinders for the front, also some stuff from my old minitrucks I had so Im thinking about doing a sick bag setup, I want to cut out the trunk floor and have some crazy bent tubing and just make a really clean setup, and notch the strut towers in the front so it will lay out low as hell. Just an idea I had while cleaning the garage. Comments?

Nice, but for 600Hp it seems slow to me. I'm sure it isn't, justs seems like it. It sounds badass.
