The Sport sedan uses the GM Ecotech block and the 9-5 uses the apples to Oranges B-235. The sport sedan has the exhaust manifold amd turbo in the rear. This way the engine coould be shoved farther forward to widen the footprint and stance of the car by bringing the corners up to the limits.
The ecotech can be built to handle a ton of HP. It can be sleeved, stroked, boosted and whatever else you'd like. GM has a large parts catalog that covers the Ecotech right up to 1,100HP. Nick Taliaferro has some good info on the SS as he is building one right now. If all you want is 30-40hp more, buy a BSR PPC upgrade. It's plug and play and will make a huge increase in performance. The bottom end of the Ecotech engine is not compatible with other current Saab engines. :o)
