I will say this. It looks to be the same motor. But please reread your post. Unless you mean B204i and B204L.

The mechanic who lives near by just drop in a Viggen Motor B235R into a 2002 Saab 9-3 se Convertable which use B204L. Soon to be mine:P.

He had to do a few things to get it to work for the car. But it sure runs great. Other then then the trannie. He going to be fixing that before I buy it.

Here where I I found the info http://uk.ask.com/wiki/Saab_9-3?qsrc...on_9-3_engines
