  3. C900 Workshop
    Long story short, the body is totaled on my manual 900T, but the engine is in good condition. I came across a 900S automatic that I got for $150. Supposedly, the engine is no good, but the body is in great shape. A transplant seems pretty straighforward, except I'm unsure about the wiring. I...
  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Does anyone know if the engine from a 2005 95(i think it's a b234r) will fit in the 9-3 engine bay? It would be nice if everything lined up, but if not, how difficult would it be to do the swap? I'd like to keep the b207r, but there doesn't seem to be as much aftermarket support as the b234r...

    Ok so I have an 01 Saab 9-5 wagon, it had the b308 and an auto that was broken. Got the silly idea in my head to swap a manual into it.

    So I'm all quite new to the forums and such. Just wondering if you guys could help me out! This might be a stupid question.. But I've recently found a 1998 CSE turbo with a solid body, but an engine that knocks. The body of the 98' is in a lot better shape than my 94' CSE Turbo. Is it possible...

  16. 9-5 Workshop
    I've owned 3 Saab's and I'm about to purchase #4 . The trick with this one is that the engine is "bad". It's an '02 9-5 Aero so it has the B235R (right?) and I have another B235R from my "01 Viggen Conv that was in a wreck last month. The 9-5 is an automatic and of course the Viggen is/was a...
  17. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Gentleman, I recently purchased a 97 NG900 that has engine problems, and I already own a 96NG with a well maintained engine. The reason I'm doing the swap is because mine is from NY and is covered in rust and the 97 is from South Carolina and clean as can be. I just had a few questions about...
