Scott,
I'm with Rich on this one. Seeing that the other cylinders look so good (assuming #1 looks like #2 and #3), it's pretty likely that #4 was running lean. Possibly could be an air leak, but something this severe would most likely be a fuel injector problem.
FWIW, this is pretty unusual for a Saab. You might wanna consider just tossing a junkyard motor in there, chances are very good it'd live happily ever after. That's of course assuming you correct the fueling problem!
