From the last time I tried to give this thing away: Not sure about the exact condition of either engine or xmission, was supposedly running when pulled. The engine and trans are from a '87 16 valve turbo Saab something, miles unknown. Xmission feels ok, seems to shift into gears smoothly. Grabbing the axel shafts and twisting them, there doesn't seem to be an unusual amount of play, would probably replace pinion bearings prior to swapping out. Engine turns by hand with reasonable force. Has turbo, injectors, alternator, AC compressor and stuff. I had considered dropping this into my '92 conv but chickened out. Way easier, cheaper, and probably safer to get another car. I don't have the APC box or harness, the dipstick is missing in action, and I don't have an intercooler. Bring something somewhat large to tote this thing. I don't have an engine lift handy, (for now anyway) so bring one of those too.
