Dave, you'd be better off swapping the whole drivetrain. The transmissions, axles, radiator,motor mounts - there's so many
things that are different, you might be better off selling it and buying
a turbo. The only way it would be practical would be if you bought
a 'rear-ender' from the local salvage yard. You would then have
a stock-pile of parts you could use in the transplant, with plenty
others to spare. I'd bet that you could find a pretty decent late
model 9000 that got rear-ended/totalled for around $3K, if you
knew someone that goes to the insurance auctions. For example,
the '98 CSE engine that I presently have in my Saab came out of
a totalled '98. I could have bought the whole vehicle from the
salvage yard for $5500. It only had 10k miles. I'm sure they
bought it for at least $1500 less, if not more. Anyway, I'd wager
turboed 9k's far outnumber non-turbos - that's probably why no
one bothers producing performance parts for them.
