First of all, some basic details would help.

What year is your Volvo 760?
What engine size?
What transmission (auto or manual)?

Lastly...what's wrong with the current engine and transmission? I doubt both died at the same time (assuming they ARE dead).

Sounds like a B280 engine.

You have to be pretty sure it's 1990 model, because Volvo 760 with V6 engines had different similar V6 engines, The PRV engines.

However, Volvo 760 1990 V6 engine didn't have carburetor on it. It was a fuel injection engine. From 1986, it had PRV V6 engine that used Bosch LH2-2 Jetronic system to manage the engine (same system in Peugeot 505 V6). If the production is from 1986, then it has to be even fire PRV engine. And they came in ZF 4HP22 4-speed Automatic transmissions. It appeared none was sold in manual transmission, unlike the Peugeot 505 V6 that had option of manual transmission. Few people interested converted their Volvo 760 V6 to manual from Peugeot 505 V6 manual gearbox and the components.

So, if its even-fire PRV engine, then someone converted and mounted carburetor on the intake manifold. And doing that will affect the proper running of the engine and obviously the Bosch LH2-2 has been disconnected, partially, maybe.

You need to be sure of all these before buying another engine, if truly engine is faulty or the abuse of the Injection and ignition system is the cause.
