85 16v T engine into my '88 16v 900 S

A friend has given up on his '85 900 T. He's offered the car to me as a parts car. I'm thrilled of course, but I havn't decided what the best use for the engine would be. Opinions solicited as to which would be the better course:
(1) pull '85 turbo engine and put it in my 900S.
(2) pull turbo plumbing and make my 900 into an LPT car.
considerations:
I am poor. Wouldn't be able to spend more than $400 on parts.
'88 900S has new transmission, 102k on engine.
'85 900T has 160k on engine, body has signifigant rust, very hard to start when cold but afterwards runs fine. pinion bearing nearing failure point (car won't coast in reverse).
I suppose a compression test would be the best way to figure out which option is preferable?
would I be able to use the '88 wiring harness on the '85 engine?
