Saab never made a turbo V4, and neither the engines nor the transaxles of later models would fit into a Sonett without a huge amount of modification (if you don't care about originality, it might actually be easier to fit a Subaru drivetrain; a Honda drivetrain won't work because Honda engines sit transversely and Sonett engines sit longitudinally.)
So, by far the easiest thing to do would just be to fit another V4, keeping your previous transaxle if it's OK. If I were doing this, and I couldn't afford a fully rebuilt engine as good/expensive as the ones Jack A. sells (which I can't) I'd just look around for a good used engine from a rusted-out car, possibly by placing a "Wanted" classified on this board.
