Is the cylinder head and block from a 1998 v70 t5 the same as a 1998 v70 r fwd?

nobody?
according to my list all the bore & stroke are the same, both used the same engine management so can't see why not. I would check there both either pre-ME7 or ME7 tho

i can't believe you had to buy a complete engine just to get a flywheel, i keep threatening to get one & drop it into the local engineering shop & let them lighten it
