New to me 85 300TD, engine swap questions...

Hello all -

So the other day I acquired an 85 300TD wagon, no rust, and I must say, despite being a die-hard Saab nut for years, the thing looks cool. Unfortunately, it's been sitting for awhile with blown engine (threw a rod - awesome hole in the side of the block!) - so I'm starting my search for an engine, and ideally, a manual transmission (have been reading the archives a bit)... So what I'm wondering is if I need another 5 cyl turbo wagon, or can I use the motor from any 300D 5cyl turbo sedan (which seem to be more or less a dime a dozen)? I know the wagon has the hydraulic suspension, but can this pump be swapped onto a motor w/out the pump? I haven't actually gotten a chance to look closely at it, seems like it's been raining for weeks here... And since I'll have the motor out anyway, what's worth replacing while I have the chance?

Thanks!
