Yes I believe it's a product of GMH here in Australia. I'm not sure if it's a fully-original design but GM in the US like the engine so much they're planning to use it in quite a number of their brand platforms, including Saab. For some reason Holden has actually got a very good team of people designing powerplants. After all the Holden Commodore (which the Monaro that's sold in the US as a different badge) is one of Australia's most popular cars. Doesn't mean they're any good though. 8-) Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page at | Craig's Classic Saab Workshop - Sydney .au http://lios.apana.org.au/~c900 | http://www.classicsaab.net and other URL's Email: c900nospam.apana.org.au | For Saab 99/C900/9000 Enthusiasts World-Wide!
