A little background. A while back I posted a feeler for the entire car thinking I may want to get out of the e30 game. After a couple projects on the car I was able to adjust myself and remember why people love these cars so much.
That being said, I have made some realizations of what kind of car guy I am and what kind I am not. Unfortunately, I am more the kind who wants a fun reliable daily driving machine. This is something that an m20 stroker can not give me. I hope to move up to an m/s52 (likely a 2.8, but if i can get the right deal on a 3.2 i'd bite), the m20 and the Miller kit WILL be sold and ARE for sale. The Feeler title is in place so I can get someone who is willing and able to wait while i procure the parts I need for swap. I am not looking for any down payment or pay in advance or anything crazy, Im no nigerian prince, I just want to gauge the interest and see if there is someone who wants this engine.
Now, on to the details of what I have to offer,
Engine: m20, bored and stroked to 3.0l, 284/272 camshaft, 10.3:1 compression. As stated in the title, this motor was built by Pete McHenry himself. I have had this motor in my possession since 2005 and have had it in 2 cars that each saw some time as daily drivers. Mileage on the engine is tough to say but I would put it somewhere sub 100k miles, maybe in the 70-80k range. I blew a head gasket between cylinder 4&5 last year and replaced it with a stock unit. I have not had the engine on a dyno in all of the time I have owned it. For the first 5 or 6 years the engine was run with stock m20 gear and a custom chip from Mark DSylva. For the past 4 or 5 years it has been running a miller war chip with their PSIK and one of their base tunes. This engine is still in my car, as such if someone was interested in buying and wanted a test drive first that could be arranged. I would edit: asking price $1500 for the engine, and harness (currently running an an 86 chassis). I will likely hold on to the flywheel and clutch. Miller kit can be included but will be extra, see below.
Second on the list Miller PSIK and War chip (installed in 173 ECU). Pretty self explanitory, I have the whole kit available, and will sell it all together for $500, that gets you the whole PSIK and the War chip.
Last but not least. I have been lucky enough to be the owner of a Getrag 245/11 for the past 4-5 years. For those that arent familiar this is a close ratio dogleg transmission from a select number of euro e21 323i sport models. I have no clue how many miles are on the transmission but I know it shifts smooth in all gears and doesnt make any strange noises. The only reason I am contemplating selling is because I know these are valued transmissions and I dont want to grenade it behind an m/s52. If this gets sold it I would ask $1500
