Hate to say it, but probably not.

These are almost never drop in parts.

What all did you actually get? Door panels? Dash? Seats?

The only thing that might readily fit is the seats, and even then there are wiring issues to be dealt with, heated seats, airbags, power motors.

Odds are the wiring and cutting/welding to get bolt holes lined up will be a challenge most people don't want.

The door panels are not the same size, so they won't just snap in. The dash certainly will not change over.

You might be able to use pieces off of the donor car modified and transplant them on a case by case basis, like door panel inserts or thing like that, but none of the wood, etc. will work right off the bat.

Sorry, not wanting to rain on your party. but the logistics of it are not for the faint of heart. If you are able to muddle trough it all, go for it, but it's not as easy an changing an interior form one S40 to another.
