    looks like you got to a good start. which 24v engine you putting in?
    -FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"

      That looks like the intake manifold of an M30 to me. I hope someone didn't tell you that was a 24V engine, because the M30 is still a SOHC 12V.

      Or is that just the car that you pulled the brake master components out of?

          that was the hydroboost donor car :p

          Id love to put an S52 in it, but the pricing and availability might not allow that... thinking M52 at this point... maybe with a S50/52 head.....

            I am thinking he posted that because of the hydroboost hardware.....

              M52 is the way to go, opposed to M50

                Can't wait to see this one come together. M52 engines with S52 cams are still great engines.

                      +1

                      has no cams though = /

                      this will mark the second 24v in recent times (on the forums atleast). The last one was a s5x touring.

                      At any rate, consider me subscribed!
