Seems like the S40 forum is ghost town to posts, so i figure maybe my 850 family can help me. 2000 Volvo S40 1.9L needs a engine swap easy to do? Figure it's the same as the 5 cylinder engine swap

Mod note...will move back after we get some action. I'll leave shadow topic so you can find it on either forum

The basics will be the same as an 850 engine swap - I don't know if an entire write-up exists here for the S40's, but a VIDA/VADIS installation may come in handy there. A handful here have taken on the task on the 5-cyl's after acquiring all the proper tools (and time to get through it!)

Get a 850 or S70 and we will help you

Try a Mitsui or Ford forum maybe as its not a true Volvo

Found this from a post in another forum.
It may help you with preliminary background of the engine options for S40/V40 ?

To carry on from Gmain's post... as a rule of thumb the early phase 1 T4 had the 1855cc unit with the phase 2 having the 1948cc unit, both T4 engines producing 200bhp/147Kw.

Phase I
1998 - B4194T = 1855cc (high pressure turbo)
1999 to 2000 - B4194T2 = 1855cc (hpt)

1998 to 2000 - B4204T 1948cc (low pressure turbo)

Phase II
2001 to 2003 - B4204T5 = 1948cc (hpt)

2001 to 2003 - B4204T3 = 1948cc (lpt)

i have not come across any writeup specifically for an engine transplant on a S40/V40.
The white sticker on the side of your timing belt cover should display the engine number/type
