I was able to get my hands on a B5244T engine from an 07 S60T5 that had 133K miles on it. The previous owner shimmed the block and installed ARP headstuds. The chassis has about 206k miles on it and the engine has about 170K miles on it. This is just a rough estimate based on the information provided to me by the previous owner and the mileage from the chassis.
The body of the cars has a few dings and dent here and there but shows well when cleaned up. Typical clear coat peel on the driver’s side passenger door on the very top. A V70R bumper was installed a few years back along with some projectors.
Please see the mod list below. This is a running car that’s been extensively modified. Please note there are few things the cars needs but nothing that will prevent you from driving the car home or regularly.
The car is very fast for what it is and will surprise a few folks. I did take it to the track once on the 19T set up and although the ET sucked (15.2) the trap speed was 103 mph. 13 second ish car at that time under the right conditions. The TD06 has it punching well above it weight class at this point, especially on the e85 MAP. I haven’t ran the car at the track yet on the TD06 but I can imagine under the right conditions it’s easily a mid to high 12 second car. Biggest issue is traction and getting the power down. From a roll, it’ll take down a good amount of cars.
Asking $9000 OBO, I’m not entirely sure where the market is for these cars. I think $9K is a fair start considering the mod list and the extra parts to go along with the purchase. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll address the issues it has and keep it.

Things that should be addressed but not urgent
Possible RMS. I haven’t really looked into as I was going to have this replaced when the clutch was upgraded. I lose about a quart every 3-4 months.
Rear brake pads and rotors need to be replaced.
E-brake is non-operational (seems typical of P80’s) never bothered me and never parked on hill
AC and Heat both work, blend motors are acting up, so currently set on AC. They adjust intermittently.
Driver’s door needs a minor adjustment to close properly. I have a hinge replacement to go along with the purchase.
New tires, will include them with the purchase (Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/45/17)
Traction, with the power it’s making it will spin the tires in 1st and 2nd gear. Not urgent but an LSD would be nice to add in the future with the lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I’ll be as forthcoming as possible. I want to see this go to a Volvo enthusiast if possible. I can add additional pics of whatever you’d like to see.
