What engines will replace my B230F? 1989 740 5spd 700

The #3 piston on my 89 740 has a chunk missing out of it. The local U-pull it has engines for $129, and a decent selection of Volvos. They don't have any 1989s with the 5 speed though. The only manual tranny car they had was an 80's 240. They have about a half dozen 740s, but they're all automatics. Will an engine out of an automatic bolt up? This car is by all accounts a beater/commuter that I don't plan on keeping for a long time so ease of installation, price, and availability trump reliability and longevity.

I've never done an engine swap in a manual tranny car, or a Volvo for that matter. Just domestic dinosaurs...

Is the fuel injection system different for certain years? Should I use my existing intake manifold instead of the junkyard one?

Thanks for the help!
