Long block

Hello, I own a 1998 Volvo s70 GLT. I have removed the head and found a crack in one of the cylinder sleeves. I have been looking for 2.4 low pressure turbo engines locally and eBay every other place listed that has a long block seems to be the non turbos from my search. Could I use a 99+ turbo short block or a 93+ non turbo short block? I can reuse the 98 head with the sodium filled valves and have it freshened up. I don’t mind having the car tuned if need be but I want a short block that will bolt in without modification. Is anyone else having this problem as our cars are getting older and a lack of used engines at salvage yards? Thanks!

Had three 850s; 2 2.5 20v and 1 T5. I miss these cars so I bought an S70 2.5 TDI for 600 bucks. It has premium sound system and sunroof which is really nice.
