make it a runner. At 120k a 9-5 needs lots of work -- fuel pump, t-belt, t-body, idm's and the list goes on, and with a v6 it's more and more $$$$. A catera motor won't work, you have to use the Saab turbo version. As John said, head gaskets are not usually the problem. But the oil system on a v6 is pretty iffy, and a lack of lubrication will have bad results down the road. I have a simalar car on my lot right now, about a year ago some one replaced the oil cooler and radiator - 10k later the engine lost oil pressure and locked up. Forensic report shows extremely worn bearing surfaces from coolant in oil. The car had a generic oil pressure switch that tripped at about 4lbs, unlike the saab one that trips at 10-15 lbs. My plan is to put a b235 in it.
