You need to load them up to something like photobucket.com and then use the links IMG provided from there on here

Did you see the escort with the saab engine in??

Was that PPC? No I didn't :annoyed: Didn't even know it was there!

I think I have a couple of pictures of that if you're interested, I've not seen PPC so you may have more details on the car from the magazine.

Is it running the B234R engine?

Yes - same as mine :)

I know all about you Saab perversions ;) Since seeing that car I've been looking into things, did you ever track down a decent 'box for high powered RWD installation, or did you knock that on its head

This is a dyno from a B234R with steel rods (everything else inc pistons was stock), head work and a huge turbo:

It lunches on Audi drivetrains so it looks like only a T56 will do...

PPC are using an omega box, but I can't imagine that'll be up for silly power, although they're going for 450BHP :wack:

I've gone with transverse in the back, so have stuck with the stock aero box, but these ill go pop too.

Of course, if an omega box to fit a longitudinal XE engine, then a vectra box from fwd XE will also fit (in theory) and is 6 speed. Quaiff do internals for these, and a mate works there ;)

No reason a Bellhousing can't be made to fit the GM saab engine and a T5 or T56. Both gearboxes are widely used and the variations on GM engine stud patterns are not too un common, so chances are something will "almost" fit, ie bar 1 stud etc. I have a diagram of all the GM engine/bellhousing patterns somewhere......

Nice!
And if it finds it has an appetite for a standard T5 there are upgrade options:

And there are T5's with a buy it now price of 411.25 on 'the bay'

LOL! Is it bad?

I doubt my boss would be happy if I were to put that out on a clearcoat job ;)

It looks to me like it was done wet, so while it would be tricky to get the mat to go round that cone and along the sides, it is entirely possible to do it.

The bodged weave on the cone and rear stick out thing are too noticeable (to me anyway)

Cool:thumbs: I have a number of Swedish contacts and we've now got the info for my mate to start his conversion - the parts start arriving next weekend.
