    '91 318is/2.5L S14 ENGINE SWAP

    engine installed in E30 M3 chassis to ensure it properly runs 3/21:). it's been in a crate for about a year so the company did a shakedown.

    rebuilt, 5k on motor

    having both valve cover and plenum touched up before shipping.







    poor M3, got rear-ended. DS like MY 318is though!

    that's all...for now
