I don't see how a 960 could ever be more economical than a 940. More pleasureable, absolutely.

At the very least the engine has more spark plugs and wires to deal with. The wear items on the electronic transmission (lockup solenoid) sure seem more expensive than the wear items on the AW70 (OD relay and solenoid, check ball).

The early ones need timing belts more often, and the cost of parts is quite a bit more expensive than what's needed for an 8V red block.

If one wanted a four cylinder in a 960 body, get an 88-91 760 Turbo or 940SE/960 Turbo. Same dash, same suspension, four cylinder simplicity. If the 960 really did have a 3.31:1 rear end, I'd worry about how well a non-turbo four banger would be able to accelerate.
