760 Engine replacement questions

I have an '85 760 turbo Automatic whose engine is on it's last legs. I would like to keep the car but wonder what options I have as far as replacing the engine.

Does anyone know if I would be able to put an engine from another model/year or would that entail too much headaches as far as replacing computer modules and so on???

the current engine has 370k on it and a few valve guide seals and burnt valves i suspect. I can get a exchange engine for $700 but who knows hoe long a replacement would last as it is not necessarily a rebuilt engine.

Is it worth it tome to rebuild my current power plant?? Are aftermarket rebuild parts easy enough to get???

I appreciate any info you have!!

Would you recommend replacing the older Garrett turbo with a newer Mitsubishi turbo at the same time as the engine swap?

I like the Mitsubishi in my 740 better than the Garrett in my 240 for everyday driving, however the Garrett is a better choice if you want significantly more than stock power. For a stock engine the Mits is a bit nicer because it spools faster.

There's no difference to the physical layout of the motor. Newer cars have a different fuel injection, flywheel pickup instead of hall sender in distributor, but all the "old stuff" from your motor will just bolt on and work. No modifications necessary.
