engine change 850 1996

While the block is the same year to year, assuming the displacement is the same, The problem is the Head is different. Different vacuum routings and mounting areas for other small pieces. Until 1999 when ETM and coil overs was introduced.

To keep it simple a 1996 and 1997 are interchangable without much grief. Of course, it is easier to replace the head than lift the engine out.
