Re: [DMCForum] SAAB 9000T in a D?

["Jim Strickland" <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

Do you mean that you're going to take the distributor off the Saab engine
and move it?

I think there are a lot of other questions you need to ask yourself (or
explain to us) first...  Are you going to fit the engine in the D
transversely?  If so, what transmission are you going to use?  Given the
location of the engine cradle, I think that you would have to move the
"firewall" (front of D engine bay).  If you are using the stock
transmission, you obviously have to rotate the engine 90 degrees.  In
this case, make sure that the engine turns the right direction, lest you
have to take apart the transmission.

PS.  Do not move the distributor.  You might be able to get a crank/cam
angle sensor that works with an afterstock spark system...
