I recently discovered that the 4" crack in the rear of my block is where my large coolant leak is. That sucks but 180K miles will do that I guess.

I have an engine from an 02 XC70 with ~60K miles that I will be stealing the block, bottom end, and oil pan from. I am going to use the original head from my car on this block. My head is already ported and polished and it will make it easier/cheaper to get everything going. The original engine was the B5254T that came in the 98 V70, the new one came from an 02 XC70 which is also the 2.5 LPT. I don't have any pictures right now but I can post some up if needed, I can also get some more engine info if I have to.

My question is, what issues am I going to run into? I know the timing belts are different from the auto to manual tensioners, which belt should I use? Other than the belts, I don't know of any major problems that I may come across. So if anyone has done this or similar, let me learn from your tribulations.

I did search this but I wasn't really finding an answer that suited me.
