Subject: I am rebuilding an engine for an 1986 900 T and need some suggestions
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:
1. New copper head gasket (Saab Saviour)
2. Rebuild kit, with rings and bearings for the drive shaft (Swedish
Dynamics)
3. Rebuild kit for the timing chain (the Saab Site)
4. New CenterForce clutch kit (Summit racing)
5. New alternator, starter and AC
6. New performance plugs, wires and coil (Summit)
7. New rising rate FPR, fuel rail and 32 PSI injectors (Swedish
Dynamics, Saab Saviour)
8. 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.
Jeremy
