Got a 98 V70XC with a bad engine in a trade, found a 99 V70R engine I could use as a swap. Any particular issues with this swap? Can grab the whole subframe if needed.
Only thing he says missing is turbo and tps.Basically need to retain all sensors and work from the 98. Will need a t5 tune at least to get started. What does the 99 R motor come with?

$150, so it’s cheap at least.Ok. $?
99 motors aren’t really worth messing with unless it’s damn near free or extremely convenient. However it sounds like this may come with green injectors?
The later motor is inherently a better engine in every aspect other than being 83mm bore. Would be my recommendation, pending actual condition of the long block.$150, so it’s cheap at least.
The shop the car is at may have a newer RN sitting around, probably an LPT 2.4T from an XC70 or S60, so might just go with that if so.
