I am new to the Volvo scene. I just purchased a 1999 S70 2.4 non-turbo. I purchased it with a bad engine. I was hoping to rebuild, but when I started disassembly I saw it had a rod through the side of the
block. I found a 1994 - 1997 2.4 non-turbo from an 850. The seller sent me some pics of the engine. I noticed it had a distributor on it, mine does not. I am trying to find out if I can make it work in my car. I don't mind swapping heads or any other parts if I need to. Any advise on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I can't help on this one, maybe some of the Volvo techs or more experienced members can help.

Go to Robert DIY on Youtube. He has repaired older Volvo’s for years. He would be the person I would trust on older Volvo issues. Hope this helps. In fact he goes to peoples homes and helps with repairs and upgrades.
