Hello all, My 3-speed auto transmission is going on my '86 900 T and it will cost an arm and a leg to fix. I have a spare engine from an '85 900 SPG with low mileage that I have decided to swap it out so that I have a 5-speed manual.
The engine has been sitting in my garage for a few years and needs some obvious work do to inactivity. I am planning on installing the following:
- New copper head gasket (Saab Saviour)
- Rebuild kit, with rings and bearings for the drive shaft (Swedish Dynamics)
- Rebuild kit for the timing chain (the Saab Site)
- New CenterForce clutch kit (Summit racing)
- New alternator, starter and AC
- New performance plugs, wires and coil (Summit)
- New rising rate FPR, fuel rail and 32 PSI injectors (Swedish Dynamics, Saab Saviour)
- Used high flow intercooler
Can anyone think of thing that might be needed to be done? Most of these things I have already purchased in last few years and do not to buy.
I already have a red box OEM APC to top this thing off.
I would love to put a high flow turbo and more agressive cam shaft but that is way out of mu budget.
