I was hoping someone could tell me what is involved in dropping a non-turbo engine in a 740 Turbo Volvo?

I have a 740 Turbo that I love. Had to drop a used rebuilt engine in it a year ago and last week a misdiagnosis by my mechanic resulted in the new engine losing all of the compression in cylinders 1 & 2. I can't afford to drop another turbo engine in the car, but don't want to lose the car either. I was wondering how much trouble would be involved in dropping a B230F basic bullet-proof engine into the car instead.

Would I have to replace the computer? Would there be problems with the shift pattern on the tranny fitting the new powerband? What else would I need to consider?

If I can do this now, I am hoping to return to a turbo-charged engine in a few years.

Any thoughts in this would be greatly appreciated.
