Best version of HPT motor for a swap?

I looked at a very clean S70 T5 that needs a motor. I'm pondering buying it. I wondered what years & models of Volvo's offered the latest or bestest version of the T5 motor that would easily drop in and function in a '98 S70 T5 with M4.4.? I recall reading it was a '02 S60 T5 once but wanted to be sure.

Thanks

Any N/RN engine is basically a bolt in.

B5234T9s are looking like the "best" motors for older car swaps since the B5244T5s have been developing oiling issues and rod knock far too often.

You'd find a T9 in any 2003-2004 T5 p80 based C70.

Front motor mount bracket from 99+ p80, notch the t belt cover for the fuel line or convert the 98 to RN style fuel line, swap on the distributor, -98 accessory bracket and accessories. Use all me4.4 sensors original to the car. Did I miss anything?
