Awesome! I want to drive this beast! If you're using the stock generator/waterpump you might want to get a custom pulley machined from aluminum (or get one of these http://classicsaabracing.com/Order/detail.php?item=21 ). Bruce and I had one of the cast iron pulleys explode at Rally New York at hig...

This sounds like a great project. I'm not all that familiar with these jet ski engines, but it should work well. A project I would like to someday do would be to put a 2stroke outboard motor in a car. Evinrude's newer direct injected engines would work well. The V6's Id be looking at would be a bit...

I have created my own thread since this thread was getting hyjacked to much. Please post over at the new thread for the PWC engine..

Sorry guys. I really love what you have done to the car. .

Any in car video yet.. How does it pull? Do you have Bud Clarks contact info?

Thanks Jennifer

I didn't want to hyjack the 63 rally car any longer as it wasn't fair or on topic to what those guys were doing.. I do love the car and work they have done and Guys I'm sorry your thread got jacked.. So as the title states. I have priced out a regular gt850 engine rebuild and depending on where you ...

I spot faced mine. It worked great..

I'd stick with a stOck Saab . Maybe a 4.88 r&p .

I have 3, 5:14 gear boxes but with the better power of the 1300cc I might be able to even get away with 4.67. Have to see if I can find a motor for decent money.

Well, now that SAAB has up and evaporated.. I'm thinking it was best I didn't cut up an SPG.. Better collector interest's..

Same with the GT850 I'm gonna restore.. But the extra chassis, Hummmmm..

Hey, just found this thread.. I just sold my Monte Carlo 850 and after looking at all of my old NOS GT850 parts have decided not to sell it but to rehab it. I love that you guys are rallying the old Snubber.. I have looked into getting pistons for my GT engine.. did you guys end up finding a good so...

It also looked like there was some clearance issues with the shift shaft, sounds like spot milling around the bolt faces cured that. Any idea if another run of these would come with this issue taken care of? Anything else that has come up during anyones ownership? Just want to see if anyone has any...

Nope. Never said I did. john Hi John, I guess it works both ways. I have used other plate types a fluid type and have driven a GTI with a Quaife type. Back in the day. I used to do lots of fast back road stuff. Kind of the driving that isn't really appropriate anymore around here.. But back then I ...

In practice, I have yet to find a downside to the Quaife.

Have you ran anything else but the Quaife?

I might be interested. Would depend on pricing and shipping..

I was thinking with the amount of down time I have I could turn some out of some material that would hold a polish.. More then likely I won't do anything paint them when the time comes. Years back I painted the rims on the Monte and they came out great.. Wish I could remember what paint I used becau...

I am thinking I might make a new set... I have 2 brand new ones and then 40 used ones. some good and some pretty rusted.

So, with that in mind I was thinking I could make some out of 4140HT on my lathe and tig on washers.

Well the Monte left and I had sellers remorse right off. But with that in mind I had to many to give a good home to so better off focusing on the GT850 and getting it up and running.

The SAAB nuts are 19mm/3/4" and are dropped forged. Nice nuts. Here is a pic..
