Would anyone no if Saab are still using the GM V6 engine ? or what year they stopped using it.

Thanks

[Del Boy]

Still using it, can get a white 60 plate 2.8 XWD auto for £25,000 

They also use it in the new 9-5 but as they use auto boxes they're no where near as quick as a manual would be.

Same engine that is used in the Insignia VXR and previous Vectra VXR is it not?

[mantahatch]

Thanks Del, how close would the block be to say a 2.6 or 3.2.

The reason for asking is there is currently something for sale which says fits all the 9-3 models, and I am wondering if I could fit it to the Omega

Oh, confused now.

[Del Boy]

It is different, I'll find a picture

To be honest it's very compact for a 2.8 V6, best noise and effortless power though

Have a read here GM High Feature V6

Chain driven quad cam. No visible mounts on the side for the block for RWD fitment and the bellhousing patteren is also different, i thinkl

Thank you all. This is what I was looking at. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAAB-9-3-ENGINE-HEATER-KIT-GENUINE-ACCESSORY-BOXED-/270495195832?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3efac522b8

Guess you can understand what I was thinking of.
