Salutations: As some of the regulars will remember, I've got a spare and perfectly functional steel block 1989 9000T engine in great shape with fresh turbo ready for the stand in the basement. I am wondering if anyone here would have any leads on high torque SAAB engine attempts in the 320ft/lbs torque around the nospam RPM range? This goes to my other front wheel drive tart - the '77 GMC 260 motorhome - which uses a surprising low HP but high torque stock 403 olds engine to make 185hpnospam RPM and 320ft/lbs torque nospam RPM. I am finally setting in to drawing and planning the overhaul on our hoopy 70's super van, think I can bring it's curb weight well into the 8,500 pound range and I can't help but wonder if 320ft/lbs of torque in the 3500 RPM range isn't *all that far* to go in the good old long block SAAB engine.. I can give it a 3x6ft intercooler and radiator in any thickness up to 6 inches each.
