I picked up a True 90 SPG with a bad tranny, found a good engine/tranny from a 88 SPG. had planed to do the switch this week but am a bit overwhelmed by it all and wondering weather it would be worth the effort.
The spg has no rust to speak of, almost all the clear coat is gone from the red, Interior is about a 5 out of ten, and now that I look at the engines it would appear that I'll need to change intake manifold also because of all the EGR(?) stock stuff on the 90 SPG.
I do have covered space and good tools to use and I think my abilities are up to it, ( just spent 2 days swapping out a right side turbo from an 85 Biturbo Maserati, Which your not supposed to be able to do without pulling engine.)
At this point I'm only into this car for about $800.00 and thinking maybe I should just offer it to a Saaber on Craigs,
Sure could use some input or encouragement on this.
I have both a 91SC and a 89 T, so I still get my Saab fix from them but is the work I'm looking at worth the reward do you think?
Thanks All
Jim
