I just bought my fourth Volvo wagon, albeit one with a ruint engine, an 88 740

I have an 87 turbo wagon,that we drive a lot(10 K a year), but was put together
out of a wreck, and looks it still it on the side and front end, (ever seen a Volvo with a sneer?)

Anyway, has anybody ever put a turbo into a non turbo body, the only real concern is would the internal wiring need to be changed as well, obviously the brain box would need swapped. If not, I may know where a non-turbo engine is tobe the donor. Thoughts anyone?
