The 740T/760T engines from 85-89 ought to be identical.

The later engines have LH 2.4 injection, and fit with minor changes. The crank sensor needs to be deleted from a later engine, and some sensors mounted on the head will be incorrect. The ones from the old engine will swap right over.

The 940 engines and very late (91-92) 740 engines will have improved bearings, and hopefully will not fail again in the way you experienced. If I were you, I'd seek out one of these. If your turbo is OK, it can be transplanted and save you some money.

Should be a pretty straightforward engine swap for any shop. Expect to pay 8-10 hours labor though.
