would it be at all possible to just swap the whole engine out of a volvo? or is that just a retarded question?

I currently have a 93 lx 4cyl NA that i want to do the TC swap. I was wondering about the computer part if I use the Mega Squirt or similiar product, do i still have to do the SVO or TC computer swap or are these products replacements for the ECU. I am pretty clueless when it comes to ECU's and Tuning. I appreciate all and any assistance. Thanks

Well, I've been seriously concidering doing the swap for a while now, but over the weekend I decided 100% a 2.3T is going in my stang. It's a little over my head (okay, a lot over my head), but the deciding factor was a buddy of mine (apprentice mechanic) said he'd help me out for a 60 of crown. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a donor turbocoupe, so as soon as I can find one the swap will be underway. I plan on swapping the engine, transmission, and rear end. The Turbocoupe's had an 8.8 with disc brakes which I deffinately want, but is it a different bolt pattern? Will I have to use the rims from the turbocoupe? Also, did the turbocoupe's have bigger front disc brakes? Worth swapping them in? Anything you guys can think of that will cause problems with the rear end swap? Brake lines perhaps? Anything else I'd want from the turbocoupe before I junk it afterwards? Trying to get everything planned out now, so as soon as I find a donor car I know exactly what I need to do.
