Car Forum / Saab Cars / June 2007I am rebuilding an engine for an 1986 900 T and need some suggestions
Hello all, My 3-speed auto transmission is going on my '86 900 T and it will cost an arm and a leg to fix. I have a spare engine from an '85 900 SPG with low mileage that I have decided to swap it out so that I have a 5-speed manual. The engine has been sitting in my garage for a few years and needs some obvious work do to inactivity. I am planning on installing the following: 1. New copper head gasket (Saab Saviour) 2. Rebuild kit, with rings and bearings for the drive shaft (Swedish Dynamics) 3. Rebuild kit for the timing chain (the Saab Site) 4. New CenterForce clutch kit (Summit racing) 5. New alternator, starter and AC 6. New performance plugs, wires and coil (Summit) 7. New rising rate FPR, fuel rail and 32 PSI injectors (Swedish Dynamics, Saab Saviour) 8. Used high flow intercooler Can anyone think of thing that might be needed to be done? Most of these things I have already purchased in last few years and do not to buy. I already have a red box OEM APC to top this thing off. I would love to put a high flow turbo and more agressive cam shaft but that is way out of mu budget.

Still sounds good. >Can anyone think of thing that might be needed to be done?

Do you have all the parts to change the auto selector for the manual transmission shifer components? Some of the parts are prone to breaking. Would be really nice if someone had kits of parts to rebuild shifter assemblies (not just the shifter shaft and the funny ball thing at the bottom) so auto to manual conversions could be done with all new components that are subject to wear and/or breakage for use and aging.

I have the shifter assembly but still need to get the pedal assebmly from a donor. I just split the tranny from the block and going to take the heads off later this week, once they're off I will be getting them machined for the new head gasket. > Craig.
