Maybe my writing wasn't clear enough, but I never said that. Maybe an example will make my point more clear: When you take a Ruf RGT anybody would say that's a Porsche. In fact it is only the Porsche bodyshell, built together with heavily modified engines. It has been so modified Ruf is considered a manafacturer. Same for the this engine. In it's roots it's an engine from the GM parts bin, but it has been completely 'Saabified'. -- Mager
