                        steall breaded break lines
                        Mmmm, breaded break lines. I can never decide if I like those better or breaded mushrooms, stolen or not.

                        So you've done the wiring, the motor's on a pallet, you don't have motor mounts, you don't have a tranny, you don't have a driveshaft. Did you mean it's halfway done because the M20 is out?

                        You'd be far better off putting the M20 back in, putting the wiring back to stock and selling them separately. I doubt too many enthusiasts are going to want to buy a car where someone started a project before they had all the stuff to finish it. With that kind of planning who knows what else has or hasn't been done.

                        Good luck,

                        Tim

                          That's a lot of money for a less than halfway swapped car.

                              You do realize an S52 is like 3k dollars and a decent condition e30 is like 1500 right?
