S70 Engine Swap Questions S70

I have the following cars:
1. 1993 850 GLT B5254S Engine 120K, w/ new factory Auto trans., totalled in rear, motor runs excellent. Timing belt, etc. were replaced when trans. was replaced.
2. '97/'98(?) S70 T5 B5254T Engine 180K, had blown the oil cooler in the radiator, it was replaced and then the head gasket blew.
3. '98 S70 GLT B5254T Engine 142K, owner knocked a hole in the oil pan(driving over speed bump) and ran the car until it started knocking. When he pulled over, it seized up. I pulled the oil pan and #2 rod cap was half off of the crank. I assume that the piston probably hit the valves and possibly damaged the head.

All 3 cars are basically complete.....

QUESTION 1: What are the possibilities of putting the 850 non-turbo engine into the S70 T5, either with the new 850 auto trans. or using the T5 auto trans.?

QUESTION 2: IF the above is possible, what electricals will need to be swapped?

QUESTION 3: What other parts might need to be changed?

any suggestions are appreciated.
