The old bugger is pretty gutless and drinks fuel but it is really clean with only a few previous owners and i bought it 5 years ago from one of my customers for £100 so it stands me in for nothing really, Now i also have a 1996 850 TDI wagon with a cracking engine and manual box but the body is a mix of flat red paint and pretty much every panel has a dent in it! So i'm chewing over putting the TDI running gear into the petrol 850, Mechanically this will be no problem for me as i was on the spanners for 32 yrs as a vehicle tech, My only concern is the wiring, I am hoping the diesel engine bay loom will some way plug into a main loom on the petrol, I will be swapping dash clusters etc, If anyone has done this conversion or can give me any advice or thought's it would be much appreciated, Cheers.

I think you are probably right and the engine bay loom will plug in the the cabin loom you could really do with a wiring diagram for both and just cross which pins on the engine bay loom to the cabin loom and I think that they will be the same
