1973 Saab 99.00 Engine Swap Restomod

1973 SAAB 99-00

This beauty is a 1973 SAAB 99 2.0EM Automatic. Completely restomodded with an impressive 1990’s 2.1 liter, 16-valve, 140 HP engine, and a 5-speed manual gearbox!

Hennepin Restomods did some custom work to fit the newer engine. Some of the work that was done is as follows:

* We modified the firewall to fit the slightly longer engine and accessories

* Wilwood brake and clutch pedal assemblies as were fit to add a clutch pedal and relocate the brake pedal from the early 99′ chassis.

*Combined the 99 and 900 harnesses, with 900 engine fuse block and 99 chassis fuse block.

*Rebuilt the 99’s steering & suspension

*Rebuilt the 900 front calipers with rebuild 99 rear calipers. 

*All new hard and soft brake lines from the Wilwood brake master cylinder.

*Original 99 radiator, rebuilt and fit to the 900 motor

*Custom exhaust

*Fuel tank from later 99 was modified to install modern GM style sender
