                      heh, funny thing happended about two weeks ago... My dad decided to take off the valve cover to reveal SHINY PRETTY PERFECT internals...And then it rained. Gee, thanks dad. Cams are rusty a little, and timing chain also. Tranny is still good though. i wouldnt want to sell it unless you are aware of this. it isnt that bad, but still. i wouldnt want to shaft anybody.

                          We're pulling the M42 out of my friend's car probably tonight, for his M50 swap... It runs fine, burns no oiil... injectors need a good cleaning, but other than that, it runs great. We can sell you the engine, trans, and engine wiring harness + ECU if you need it.

                            I've got one near Raleigh NC (Central NC). I'll sell the complete motor for $400 + shipping, or might be interested in some sort of trade for your parts car- especially if you brought it to me!!
