Why are transversely mounted engines for front wheel drive cars not suitable to fit in rear wheel drive cars?
You said it right there, they are transversely mounted. The engine is made to bolt up to a front wheel drive transmission and all accesories are driven differently.

How are engines mounted in a vehicle and why?
Engines are mounted to the car using bolts to secure the engine to a set of special mounts. The mounts are made of different materials (Usually steel and rubber bonded together) to keep the noise and vibration down, yet built so the engine is securely fastened to the car. Engines are mounted in the front, middle or rear of the car. They are also mounted transversely or longitudinally ( Crosswise or front to back ) These different combinations produce weight distribution differences and allow designers to make interiors and bodies more ideal from styling and purpose considerations. A small car with a mid engine transversely mounted allows for a small nimble well balanced sports car. ( The Toyota MR2 is a good example ) A longitudinally mounted engine of large displacement mounted over the front wheels is an almost ideal situation for a large commercial van or pick up truck. I think if you look at any car on the street you will see what the designer was trying to accomplish with how the engine is mounted.

Can you switch a front wheel drive vehicle to a rear wheel drive vehicle?
Anything is possible with time, money and some serious modification. Front wheel drive vehicles are not designed to accept the dimensions of the parts that are needed for rear wheel drive. The engine compartment is designed to accept transverse (sideways) mounted engines not inline engines, there's no transmission and driveshaft tunnel, a custom driveshaft would likely be required, there's no clearance for a rear differential, etc. Converting a front wheel drive vehicle to rear wheel drive would probably cost considerably more than buying a rear wheel drive vehicle.

What is the firing sequence of a 1990 Saab?
900 or 9000? It should be cast into the engine block and/or the head. 1-3-4-2 On the 900, the #1 cylinder is closest to the firewall, #4 is at the front of the car closest to the radiator. Front wheel drive vehicles have transverse mounted engines so cylinders run in line with front wheel axis.
