Benny,
The SAAB 99 engine has a common heritage with the Triumph Toledo 1500 and the
TR7 slant 4's. The engine was designed by Triumph for SAAB but the development
of the engine took different paths with both companies over the years. Although
similar, I don't think there are many parts from the SAAB that would be
interchangeable with the Triumph. As for fitting a 99 engine to a GT6, anything
is possible. There is a fellow around here with a 327 Chevy powered Mini. An
engine swap between brands usually involves far more work than one at first
imagines. And fitting the engine is only half the battle, the devil is in the
details, getting everything connected properly.
Cheers,
