A little while later the mechanic comes in with a puzzled look and says to me - One of the things I'm supposed to check off is the condition of the fan belts. But your car doesn't seem to have any and I can't figure out what's up with that. So I took him out and pointed to the back of the engine near the firewall - voila - fan belts. He was relieved.

Looks like a nice engine for a project - even if it did start life as a marine engine.
Feel The Power Of SAAB!!!
