Back in 1980 when I was working on a dam construction project in SE Kansas (pretty much small Townsville) and I bought a SAAB Turbo in Tulsa. Not many of those back-ward mounted engine jobbers in SE Kansas. First year I took it in for annual inspection to renew the license, I took it to a garage and was letting them look it over as I waited inside. 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.
