Finding manual turbo 2/7/900 series volvos is a pain. Could totally find a turbo one in the junkyard and swap the parts over to an NA manual. But as far as I know the manual trans for the redblock likes to explode at around 300whp. Finding this out pushed that project a lot further to the back burner. If its going to need a trans swap to survive what I’d like to do with it, I might as well start with a 960 (which has an auto that’s supposedly pretty durable). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/volvo-s70/263320)._
