Anyone got a V4 engine? The one that's fitted is a 1485cc Ford Taunus engine, in a Saab 95. I'm told the 1.7 Ford Taunus engine will fit - might be worth a try! But either would be brilliant.

I would be really grateful for any help.

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks for letting me know - I'll have to see if any of the Saab boffins know it'll fit. Essentially they should be the same though - you'd have thought!?!

That can be overcome though. Any chance of a photo of where the gearbox mounts to it - so I can compare it to my v4?

Actually, don't worry - th boffins have got back to me - looks like the UK V4/V6 is very different from the Cologne version and hsare very little.

I've sourced and engine, but it's been in a garden for 3 years, it's been dragged inside and given some fresh oil - turns over, but is an unknown quantity - he wants 30 for it. Unless something else turns up - I'll give it a shot!
