Good day SAAB Friends,
I am in the progress of looking for a reliable motor to replace my 225,000 mile (362,000km) motor that has a tick.
seems like not many VIN k motors out there, but there is an abundance of 2003-2008 that are cheaper. Found 01 engine w/ 90,000 miles that was cut strait out, all electrical and piping still attached for $850.00 USD,
and others like 50-70,000 miles wanting cores and are striped down to the basic long block for upwards of $2000.00 USD that have been siting for years.
The Question.
Is the 01 the same as 02, and could I get away with, say an 2005?
What kind of mods would have to be done for ether engine?
thank you for your time and expertise.
SAAB 9-3 VIN K.
