9000 900 Engine Swaps

This is urgent, need to know if I should buy the motor or not, the car
won't last:

I found an 1986 9000 turbo (canadian emissions) 5-speed. B202 16 valve
motor as you probably know. It is extremely, extremely rusty the
bodyshell, but under the hood is really nice. There is some white pasty
stuff on the turbo, I touched it and believe it to be some kind of
lithium grease. Car has 193,000km. (like 122,000 mi) I have a 1990 900S
3-door, 5-speed. It has the B202 non-turbo 16v. It has 153,000 mi (like
225,000 km) and a bad headgasket (but I already bought a new Elring). I
can grab the 9000 turbo motor, turbo, manifolds, wiring and ecm's for
250$ cnd. What I NEED to know NOW is will the block fit? I know I'll
need to get the headlamp protector, and maybe work on the intake
manifold for a while but the main long-block of it (block&head) will fit
no problem? Will it also bolt up to my tranny? I don't plan on doing
major harm to the trans, ie, big smoky fun burnouts (my 6.55l Firebird
fills that need) but I do plan on doing a lot of passing, so that would
be foot-to-floor in 5th from 80kph (50mph) to about 110 (65). How hard
is the wiring? Where are the ECM's located? I have a 'one for all'
Chiltons 1988-1992 Import car manual, which covers Saabs, but it ain't
no Bentley.
