I have come to the decision to build a b234 for my Viggen that I just picked up for cheap due to having a blown motor. I have been wanting to do all this for a long time now, and I have the opportunity right now, so I could not justify not doing it .
I ordered all the parts needed for a rebuild and a lot more tonight!
Parts list for build:
B234 block (t5), t5 cylinder head, 234 timing cover and oil pump.
235 oil pickup tube, b235 oil pan, b235 wind-age tray.
T5 intake manifold injector flange (to retain proper injector angle). T7 runners and plenum to retain t7 components such as throttle body, MAP sensor location, etc.
Pauter connecting rods (147mm)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wossner pistons.
Main and rod bearings (standard Glyco, miced the crankshaft and checked oil clearances which allowed me to buy all my parts now ).
Thrust washers/bearings.
All seals, gaskets, o-rings, valve stem seals, etc. (All OE).
Permatex/Loctite 518 anerobic sealer.
Power steering high pressure hose. P/s return line from rack to reservoir.
Genuine Saab t5 uprated valve springs.
Genuine Saab balance shafts delete kit.
ARP head stud kit.
ARP main stud kit (pending along with the Spec stage 3+ from John). OE slave cylinder kit.
ARP flywheel bolts.
AEM 320lph in tank fuel pump.
Axle/differential seals.
Selector shaft seal and bushing.
Accessory drive belt, retaining air conditioning.
Heater hose kit.
Upper and lower radiator hoses.
Coolant pump hose.
HEPU coolant pump kit.
82 degrees Celsius thermostat kit.
Exhaust manifold stud kit.
Silicone vacuum line (12 feet).
Master timing kit (guides, chains, tensioners, oil pump o-ring, valve cover gasket, oil cooler o-rings, etc. Available through Eeuroparts for $200~ which is a steal).
NGK BCPR7ES spark plugs.
Autometer oil pressure, Prosport EGT, and boost gauges.
Genuine Saab top mount exhaust manifold. (bought used).
Genuine Saab top mount down pipe, with 3" v-band option. (bought used).

BSR cold air intake.
All turbo hardware, plumbing, coolant, oil lines, etc.
Genuine Saab stock location turbo bypass valve plug (used).
New t7 ignition discharge module.
That is all I can recall at the moment. Just saw my bank account skyrocket down!
Should be seeing about 50 boxes of parts in the next month~. :saab
Then as soon as it all arrives I am headed to the machine shop!
These guys are local to me I just found out, talking to them about machine work and pricing! Maybe I can get us some hookups .
This thread will be picture heavy, I document every step of everything I do on my cars.
