Re: 84 Saab 900- grinding noise when excellerating

I'm not sure about in the 80s, but in the 70s Saabs were notorious for broken engine mounts. The engine torques itself up under load and the fan hits the fan shroud. In the case of my friend's 74 it broke while under full throttle and the valve top of the engine put a nice dent in the hood.
