looked into this. use a b204 (one with red cover on top) f20 and its same mounts as redtop. get it out of an 93 or 900. 9000 is different mounts and accessories (alternator etc)
wiring there is a boy that does adapters, makes them more or less plug n play. he sells them on here http://www.saabconversions.com

It's not the same mounts as a c20xe conversion at all.

We got 2 saab corsas. Its pretty easy do as said use f20 and c20xe mounts and shafts only difference is drivers side mount needs fabricating as its different. F20s dont last long though we gone for f23 box now but its a lot of work.

Any more info on the fabication side and how you wired it in.
Did you have to cut the chassis to get it in?
