Seems to be a big Focus on certain motors for transplanting, have been thinking since I had an 850 T5 a few years back what a superb motor it is and now there are loads of crashed and broken T5's around that they could be used for the motor, ditto the Saab 9-3/9-5 2.3 unit.
You can get the car for buttons, the engines are bomb proof, how come they dotn get used more often, is it because they are FWD oriented, don't fit easily, don't have suitable gearboxes to hook up to or have complicated electronics, I think it standard and mildly tuned form that the T5 unit is a match for a Cosworth YB and a much lower cost option.
The only ones I have seen have gone into other Volvo's and Adaptormans Beetle, but then he doesnt count as he is kind of superhuman from what I can see !
