Hope you find another 940 or a used engine. Keep an eye out on here for 940's being broken.

Completely agree with what James said and 10/10 to your MIL for having it parked there in the meantime!
If you do go for another engine, try and get a B230, in fact if you skimmed your present head and whacked it on a short B230, you'd almost certainly be up and running in no time!
Volvo do (i believe) produce thicker gaskets if you're bothered about the increase in compression ratio or you could just run it on Super Unleaded (only 5% ethanol that way too!) and enjoy to extra oomph from the head skim!
