its not difficult at all.

A whiteblock M90 (6-cylinder 960) from europe will work. a neat all-volvo solution, but there are other, stronger gearboxes that can be made to fit with a adapter plate.
The M90 can handle a lot (400+ ft/lbs iirc) with modded 3rd gear synchro. I havent tested it myself (not yet

), but there are ppl running 11-12's with them. So they are good for something.

then why haven't you put one in?

I wouldn't say its impossible, but its not going to drop itself in either.

There are harder engine swaps out there, but this is not something you want to attempt with no prior information or on a shoestring budget.
