Yes a 16v turbo or n/a engine from a 900. Any transmission 4 or 5 speed from 78 on will work with any 99 or 900 engine from 75 through 93 or so. 99s sold in the tens of thousands. 900s sold in the hundreds of thousands. Finding a 16v turbo engine already mated to a 5 speed from a 85-93 900 is not hard. It'll cost between 500-100.
My understanding is the h block, whether 8v or 16v, needs more clearance at the firewall. Either way you'll need to hammer or cut the firewall to fit the pulleys. Also you will need to weld in the 16v motor mounts. It's custom work but is tested the world over. By going with the 16v you also transplant the lh2.2 pulsed injection. The 8v H used a newer CIS injection than the 8v. Basically 16v is smoother, more power.
If that motor mount/firewall work is to much, look for a used 78-81 99 or 900 B engine. 4 or 5 speed and turbo are choices, but the unit should bolt in.
