    My pot wire colors are the same as yours.
    In my pic above the colors I wrote inside the R10 pedal pot box are the colors of the wires coming out of the pot, same as your pic.
    The colors outside the R10 box are the wire colors that are going to the DME.
    Is that what you need?

    Looks like it belongs there. Plenty of room.
    Did you do some welding on the tranny?
    Video appears to be locked. Maybe try posting it on YouTube.

    Crazy man, I like it.

    M6x motors are really unpopular swap candidates over here, although in Europe that isn't the case.

    I guess because we have those 2-initial GM engines lying around everywhere for cheap so its hard to justify a more expensive & difficult to maintain, German V8, with less power... But its cool to see people doing different things.

    Moo14, to answer your PM the fuel pressure should be 3.5 bar, what does that Volvo pump supply?

    The fuel pressure regulator is in the filter, the return line goes back to the tank from the filter assy.
    The vac line connects to the intake tube in front of the throttle body.

    Here in Sweden, this is not uncommon, well the m62 engine swap is, The m60 engine is alot easier of a swap, eletrical wise.
