Looking up something else and came across this old post. Yes, swap was a success. Took about 40 hours of labor but the car has been running fine the past year. The 99 manual gave me what I needed.

Sold......to the scrap man, lots of views but no offers so I figured I'd recycle it.

Replaced the engine in my sisters 2000 S70 FWD. 2.4 liter 4 valves/cylinder variable valve timing. She had a cracked radiator and ran the car out of coolant then then blew the motor.
