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!

Knowing the engine code of old knackered engine would help forum users to advise which used engines would be an easy swap, possibly have one too. The engine code is on the cam cover. Probably only needs a used head.
