I just built one and am installing it now. Use the T7 head and all the lowers from a 94 9000. only 94 and abouve blocks work
You need to use the 9-5 timing gear and just pull the balance shafts and plug the hoes, genuinesaab makes the plugs. It makes it much cheaper and you don't ahve to fiddle with the the differences in balance shaft gears , the obdII cars ( 06 and above I thinnk ) use the same as the 9-5 but the earlier are different, all the other bits work no matter the year ( 94 an dabove) bit s work,. the balance gears on the non 0bdII have a bit of a sleeve on them that helsp them clear the obdI balance shaft bushing collar.
You need to move the oil pressure switch to the other port in the rear of the block ( under where the starter is) and move the plug over
You use the 9-5 timign housing and oil pump. It wouel be nice if the 9000 pump worked here but it wont fit into the housing. If you can figure out how to use the 9000 timing cover ( and I will try in mynext one) good for you you get the higher capacity pump.
You need to use the 9-5 oil pan, you will need to remove the alignment pin in the 9000 block.
You ened to use the 9-5 dip stick tube. To di that you need to remove the barbed sleeve in the dip stick port of the 9000 block. the 9-5 tube fits with a new o-ring.
You keep the entire lower 9000 rotating assembly, crank, pulley, rods pistons. They are nto as good from a geomtry pint of view, the psitons are heavy bigger and shorter rods, means more rotating mass and larger rod angles not good for hi RPM sbut the pistons are beefier.
You must use a 9000 head gasket, it is thicker and necssary to get the proer valve clearance. otherwise you will hit the valves. the 9-5 pistons have valve indents to help here. Don;'t worry if the headgasket looks liek it covers some of the water ports it the head it will still flow fine and get pelnty of cooling.
You will need to use the 9000 oil filter attachement housing, the 9000 has oil coooling lines oreinted itn eh wrong direction for the 9-5 cooler
You need to use the 9000 intermediate oil galley pipe that goes from the oil filter housing to the block. The 9-5 one is flared and will not fit. Use the same o-rings in each.
use the 9-5 intake. If you want to swap to a later or Aero model intake remeber that the earlier models have a bit of a differnt MAP pressure sensorand the injectors are different on the air injected 99 models.
I thnk that covers it. andy questions e-mail me
