Careful of the cams on those models. Cam-breakage is an issue on older 740s. There was something else about the turbo Volvos but I can't recall... It's been a while since I stopped dating my Volvo-obsessed exgirlfriend.

Did they come in stick?

I remember seeing somewhere there's a conversion kit to put a Chevy small block in an old Volvo 7-series.
