some of the other forums have folks more familiar with the P2 cars. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help you but don't hesitate to seek advice on one of the other boards.
As to what engine to get it depends a lot on what engine you have in it now.
I would not advise going to a turbo from an NA (or the other way around) - that kind of swap usually gets more complicated as the computers/wiring harness will need to be changed as well and that adds cost and complexity. If you're doing the work yourself and don't need the car for a while you might be able to muddle through it. For a daily you need to get it back quick and these things add serious delays. Again maybe someone will have better advice for you from their experience.
Internal damage is a pretty uncommon failure for these cars. What engine did you have? Is there still lots of oil in the engine (ie: no catastrophic oil loss)?What were your oil change intervals? What brand and grade of oil were you using? what brand was your oil filter? What is your mileage?
We'd all like this info to help avoid failures on our cars.
I find it hard to imagine there's any damage to the top end, albeit without more info on what caused the failure it's pretty hard to say one way or the other.
Write/call Erie Volvo and get a quote on an engine and ask them what engines/years you can use. They will almost surely have one for you, and they provide a good warranty, AND they have the type of info you're looking for in terms of what you can swap out without too much trouble - they'll probably give it up for free if you're seriously inquiring about buying an engine from them at the same time.
If you do go for a new engine definitely do all the new stuff on the replacement before it goes in.
- timing belt and all rollers and tensioner
- serpentine belt and rollers and maybe tensioner
- cam seals front and rear
- crank/main seals front and rear
- PCV system including intake gasket
- clean throttle body with new gasket
- new clutch and throwout bearing (really it's not automatic?!)
