Volvo T5R wagon (was Re: putting a auto trans in a '91 20VTQA

[LL - NY]

A decent quick write-up on the Volvo 850 is in the November issue of
Grassroots
Motorsports. Trying to work from a quick read and recollection only here,
the engine
is a tranverse I-5, 2.5 liter turbo 20V, 240 HP, 211 lb-ft torque. FWD and
autobox
only. That's for the R. The 850 turbo (not R) has around 20 less HP. BTW,
does
anyone know the size of the load floor of these? Just curious.
