Engine exchange 200F—230F 900 1992

Dear Members
I have a Volvo 940/1992 with the B200F engine with catalytic converter.
I am planning to fit an engine B230 F from an 1988 740 model. Originally this engine supposed to have 116 Hp with Catalytic converter. I would like to have the 130hp which this engine seems to produce in the 940'.
My questions are the following:
Is there a difference in the motronic computer data between the 740 230F Engine and the 940--230f engine which explains the increased power?
(Also-- do i have to change the computerunit as well, or how does it work out if I leave the original unit in the car and just change the engine?)
What other components are responsible for the power-increase?
How much of a difference would it make to take out the catalytic converter altogether, as there is no requirement for it in this country for the year? (and replace it with the bit from the B230K engine?)
I know-- this is a bit of a difficult question, but maybe someone has some experience with it.
