Longblock question

Post by BPA »

Hello, I own a 1998 Volvo s70 GLT. I have removed the head and found a crack in one of the cylinder sleeves. I have been looking for 2.4 low pressure turbo engines locally and eBay every other place listed that has a long block seems to be the non turbos from my search. Could I use a 99+ turbo short block or a 93+ non turbo short block? I can reuse the 98 head with the sodium filled valves and have it freshened up. I don’t mind having the car tuned if need be but I want a short block that will bolt in without modification. Is anyone else having this problem as our cars are getting older and a lack of used engines at salvage yards? Thanks!
