The firewall move is for 16V into a 99. Engine and 5-spd from any 900 will drop right into any other 900. But the engine management wiring and components will have to be added as well. Many swaps of this type have been done. It may be feasible to use a 9000 engine, but all the manifolds and ancillary devices are different due to the diff. engine layout. The 9000 is a transverse - side to side engine layout, where the 900 is inline though in there backwards. Thus the 900 transaxle is not an option. With careful work and a donor car the 16V Turbo in a 79-84 900 can be done relatively easily, and if done with care can appear to be 'factory equipment'. But if you have to pay for the time to do it you are better off finding the later 900 and selling or scrapping your earlier car.
