still need to:
Put the electrical instalation on the car
Chose what to do with the engine,i have 3 engines:
-original M42 with 289.000 km :it has both engine mounts destroyed and is leaking oil from front timing cover
-one M20 2.5 from an 1985 325i 169.00 km the engine has not been started from 10 years
-one M20 2.5 from a 525i fresh rebuilt from 1000 km.
For now i'm thinking:
-get one 2.8i m52/eta/324td crank one set of 320/323i rods and make a stroker from 325i engine together with cam ,headers and software
-get the M20 engine from 525i put a cam headers and new chip.
I'm trying to get 200-210hp at the crank i guess that's about 160-170whp
As i understand to get that amount of power only from 2.5 engine is pretty hard and for now looks like 2.7 or 2.8 stroker is the way to go.For 2.7 i can find pretty easy the 324d crank .The car already has a big case 4.10 LSD .suspension will be Kayaba shocks with H&R -35mm springs
