Turbo convert to non turbo V70-XC70

V70 232,000 mi. I foolishly used generous amount of marvel mystery oil resulting in low oil pressure. Was in a bind so I drove on low oil pressure and completely burned a fairly new turbo. I want to replace the entire engine. Can I put a non turbo used engine in place of what WAS turbo?
Also, throttle body is about shot. This was common in the 2001 era.

Well, assuming that you had a complete non-turbo car to pick from, then yeah, you could probably do it. Would you want to? Probably not. I'm not going to assume anything else about the marvel mystery oil, but... it sounds like replacing the engine wouldn't be a terrible idea.
