We bought a 1999 XC V70, had it serviced, compression tested, etc., and a few weeks later it threw a valve.

We have access to a 1998 S70 that we know is good, it's a front wheel drive motor.

Will the two engines interchange? On a site I see they are both listed as B5254T engines, using both VINs. One is AWD and the other is FWD.

Or, could I use the head from the S70 to repair the XC? That would sure be a much easier fix.
