yes afaik the saab engines bolt straight on.
if it's the 2.0 then i think it's a taller engine than the 2.3 though (incase your going for a 4 pot engine)

I doubt very much if your wiring is just going to plug in. Your car has 6 cylinders, the Saab has 2 missing ......  ;D ;) ;)

theres two v6's
the earlier 2.5 in the 9000 and 900 i think and then the later engine in the 9-5 which came either non turbo charged or turbocharged ;)
(engine codes were B305 and B305E)

They produced no more than the normaly aspirated 3.0....but with a bit more torque.

The basic engine from the Saab is the same, the aux mounting brackets, sump, inlet, exhaust manifolds etc are all different.

Swap the ecu sensors over and use the original loom and it should be pretty staright forward.
