Can I take the Front off a '93 850 and bolt it on a '96 850?

Hello List,
Does anyone have any body work experience with the 850 that may be able to answer this question?

I have a '96 850 sedan that ran under the rear of a pickup truck so the front sheet metal and radiator support need to be replaced along with the complete light assembly, hood , one fender, etc. It needs the full radiator support with radiator, fans, a/c radiator, air box parts,etc. I have located a '93 850 with a bad motor that I can purchase for parts and wondered if all parts will interchange?

My bigest concern is the electronics, relays, sensors, wiring harnesses, etc that were crushed on the '96. Are there major differences between the two years? Both are non-turbo engines. I see some parts houses offer different mass air flow meters for the different models so I was concerned their may be other expensive sensors that will not interchange.

I apprciate any suggestions.
JIM

Do both have or not air pumps. The MAF is different. the headlights are singles on the 93 dual on the 96 and they are taller on the 93, thus the hood is different. I'm not sure about the filler between the bumper and headlight. some are equiped with wipers.
