there are some picts in my photobucket
you want a saab 9000 b204 engine with an omega r25-28 gearbox. the saab ecu will run it and there is some excellent free mapping software for it too.
all it needs to make it work is the saab engine with saab flywheel and clutch then the omega box with the omega clutch slave cylinder with a 20-25mm spacer behind it to move it closer to the saab clutch. you then need to mod the water pump so it doesnt hit the chassis and shorten and baffle the sump. a custom prop.
you can pick a running engine up for £150-200ish ecu for £30 odd and a box for anywhere between £30-100.
best bet is to buy a whole saab 9000 for about £200 and the will give you almost everything you need minus the omega box.
its not an easy easy job to get it working right compared to a n/a as there are a lot more ancillaries but its possible
think thats about it. cant remember everything off the top of my head. fortunately i got it all down on paper in ckc mag. if you want a copy let me know and i will call the office and see if they have a back issue copy although you may be unlucky as that was a very popular issue.
ppc also did the conversion into a mk2 escort but i dont think they ever finished it. there was also another chap in the netherlands that put one in an Opel cadet
