Oh, yeah. Thanks for remembering his name for me.
Here's a quote on that car.
"Although technically not a transplant, this 1979 Saab 900 nonetheless qualifies as a marvel of engineering. Ove Hasselberg, a connected associate of Saab, moved the 16-valve 2.0-liter engine from the nose of the car to the rear seat, effectively creating a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive monster. Basically, Hasselberg put the front of one Saab 900 into the rear of another, a huge piece of work best left to crazy Swedes. The stock turbo was replaced with a Garrett ball-bearing unit, and mass airflow meter and injectors were uprated to cope with the extra air. The stock APC boost control was discarded in favor of a simple wastegate and a GMC Typhoon/Cyclone liquid-to-air Intercooler system. The ported and polished, balanced and blueprinted engine can run at 2.0bar of boost and develops 265bhp and huge amounts of torque."
