The last 850 was made for model year 1997, so car #2 = 1998.

The #3 engine is a gonner and needs to be tossed. So I suggest moving the 2.5 from the 1993 to the 98 GLT. The GLT has a better tranny than the 1993, even new. Only move the engine/head, keep the exhaust and LPT in the 98 along with the intake manifold. That minimizes the vacuum changes and wiring changes.

For the T5, pull the head, replace the gasket and bolts, clean the intake manifold, replace the PCV piping, clean the PTC nipple, and have a fun car with a new timing belt. Before you start: Check the oil pressure, it should be OK because you didn't run out of oil, but nice to know the oil pump works to spec.
