Nothing difficult about doing it, it's the same as 5sp if your using a Volvo s60 / v70 box, need to move rear mount over with spacer is all really. If not then a bit more fabrication is needed this is the route I / Oblark have gone 4 times now, works awesomely and the ratios are very fast / close on the st box, it incorporates a quick shift as well and it's like a rifle bolt , unfortunately the parts we used aren't available.

[QUOTE=oblark;763985]The S60 diesel box that will be going in my 850 have batter ratios than the ST box.[/QUOTE] Definately better if your running more power, otherwise you'd spin up a lot, but the St box does help make a standard ish car faster with the close ratios. More power you can run the diesel box
