What are the year ranges I can look at for a replacemnt engine? I mean, Will a 1998+ S/V70 be a good donor vehicle as well as (I assume) a 1996&97 850.
Will I run into major problems if I were to buy a pre-OBD II car and use that motor? Any & all clarification is greatly appreciated.
The problem I am finding is that most 850s available are either too high in miles themselves or too nice to want to tear apart. So my logical thought was to turn to the V/S 70s as theyre newer and seem to be (a little) less used up.

The car is a 1997 855 N/A FWIW.

Thanks!
