[e30frosh]

Very nice. But the listed problems, especially the engine, will be most costly.

[freeride53]

[tehwickerman]

LOL, I was about to say LS2/6spd but I think s52 would even be more blasphemy to Merc purists. :D

[FREEFLOW]

I think those are fast as is... fix that valve and you'll see S52's trying to keep up with you...

[tehwickerman]

haha nah man, s52 would burn it.

[jrobie79]

anyone know what it would cost to get that fixed, assuming you were doing it yourself? and can you point one to a good forum to read up about it? thanks

[tehwickerman]

well the head obviously needs rebuilding which for most people would just consist of taking it to a head shop and having them do it for ~400 bucks... but while you're at it replacing the chain,rails,gaskets would probably run you around 5-600 dollars as well if not more....

Think Cosworth parts are not common over the shelf pieces. M3 engines were in house, M-B outsourced for a variety of cars they built.

ding ding. I'm fairly sure the cosworth motor will be more to rebuild/repair than an s14 hence my suggestion to do an LS2 swap and be done with it.

but there wont be a dogleg tranny to play with.
