940-960 engine swap?? HELP!!! 900 1994

I disagree wish what some here on this board might say. I believe the 960 can be just as economical if not more economical to operate than a 940. Its just not as tolerant to abuse. Oil and timing belts must be changed religiously. You are better off finding a nice 960 in good condition. You will probably spend as much money replacing the engine as you would on descent car. Both a 940 and 960 would be good choices. The 960 is smoother and faster with a nicer dash. 940 NA gets better mileage
If you are going to go through the effort of swaping motors, you can do a V8. But there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to swap a 940 motor into 960 if you wish. You will need the trasmission along with the engine. 940 and 960 have different transmission. You do not need to swap rear end gears. The 960 has 3.31 gears which is taller than most 940s. But its nothing impossble. You'll just get better mileage. Good luck.
