Don't even bother with a used one, unless they changed something, it's the
exact same motor as a Chevy Celebrity uses, under $20 at any Schucks or
similar.

Thanks James but the brickboard says this:

[Note: Latest comment: There is no GM part equivalent to the Volvo blower
motor for 1990 and later 7xx/9xx. The part may work fine in an earlier
Volvo. The Volvo replacement part has been redesigned from the original 1990
part so you can't just get the blower motor assembly - you need the
assembly, a new plastic mounting plate, and according to parts person, a new
resistor added to the switch.]

So whats the deal? I have a 1990 740T. According to this comment I missed
the GM part equivalent by one year. Is this true?

Sounds like it, I've never pulled apart a '90, I'm curious to see how hard
it would be to use a GM fan motor in it though. I did the fan on an '87 GLE
and the GM/AC Delco part was a drop in replacement, side by side it was
identical in every way.
