Interesting. So - in theory - a Rover V8 4.6 litre 99 is a possibility.

No the Rover V8 is a different engine from the Ricardo developed Triumph one, iirc its a development of an American V8 related to but not the legendary Hemi.
The Saab engine bays are so bit though...
Projects I remember seeing are:
900 16v Turbo engine (the 250bhp development of the Riccardo that Saab limited due to the limits of FWD not engine capability) cramped into a 99 engine bay.
Ford Essex V6 fitted to a 96V4, though the Cologne/Taunus V4 is related to a German Ford V6
900 Turbo T16s with waste gates removed, that was erm interesting.
Erm that's it... I've been away from SAABs a while now.
