1994 900S with replaced 2000 V6 engine

This is my first Saab that I bought back in 2/00 with ~51K miles on it. It is a 1994 900S 5 door V6 (2.5L). I did the first timing belt change at 75K and the second at 115K. Both times I was told that a 'special' timing belt kit had to be used for the engine in my car, which was apparently replaced @ 50K miles before I purchased it. The dealer said that my engine was replaced by Saab in NJ with a 2000 9-5 short block V6 (3.0L), and was most likely replaced due to a timing belt break. I have maintained the car mechanically at a fair expense since I bought it a few years ago. However, it has driven like a champ for the past 70K miles, so it has been worth the time and $$$. Has anyone had any experience with this engine configuration before and is there anything I should know in owning the car beyond the 120K mile marker?
