V90 engine into 93 960 S90-V90

Hi all,
I've managed to find a very nice 93 960 wagon (complete with iPD sways), but as you might expect, the engine is about to die. The car runs, but we've determined that there's a major coolant leak internally, and there's no saving it.

I've found a V90 engine with under 100K on it, so my plan is to swap in the V90 engine. I'm pretty sure that the Motronic version is different between the two, but perhaps as long as I get the engine computer as well as the engine, I'll be good. I don't know if the engine's wiring harnesses changed between the years.

This will be my first engine pull, so it's safe to say that I don't know what I don't know yet. I've had lots of redblock experience (also own a 91 940SE wagon), but I've never done a swap.

If there's any gotchas I need to know about, I'm all ears. Also, beyond an engine hoist and engine stand, what special tools will I want to acquire?
