Then again you could put the 948 or a 1275 on a bathroom scales and compare 
to a Volvo engine (might need something bigger than bathroom scales, hint, 
hint) and think about what you are trying to achieve.  You might also want to 
measure the height, width and breadth and ponder the engineering aspects.

 1600 motor, and would drop right in, that may also be an alternative.
 Also consider, if the car was modified to take a volvo tranny, there is
 a 4-speed overdrive version for the volvo engines, wich is nearly
 indestructable.
 
 Just a thought.
 
 But then again you could put back in the 948 that has 1/2 the
 HP&reliability of the volvo engines.
