The one thing that will be somewhat difficult to swap in is the APC unit that the '84 has, while your S has no provisions made for it. Check out http://www.teleport.com/~bertram/volvoapc/index.shtml for some good info on how you can install the APC system from the '84 in an "aftermarket" fashion. Other than that, swap the whole thing in. Make sure you take the fuel pumps along with it. And the exhaust. -Justin P.S. And don't tell the insurance company what you've done! :)
