So I sucked at keeping up with this. E30 is dead as a semi won the battle between he and I and the E30 rolled on the interstate so there is little left to speak of so I have absolutely NO USE for any of this stuff.
Start making offers. Let's get this stuff gone!a
All,
I bought this engine off J.Almonte (most of you guys that have been here for
any length of time know him) about a month ago and still haven't had time to get
it in the car. With that in mind, time still isn't looking good, so at this
point I may just sell/trade everything and take the car a different direction.
This swap is extremely fresh, and was only pulled because Joel went S52. No
trans; however, clutch, flywheel and pressure plate there. I also copied the
text from his ad into this one, which is below.
Since buying the M50TU from Joel, I've also bought a M54b30 that was locked
up. The engine was checked by the PO's machine shop and all parts for stroker
viable except 3 pistons. I was told 4 of 6 pistons were still good; however,
only 3 are. The crank was machined and polished so it's ready to rock! The nice
thing is that I'm picking up a set of 6 great 80K mile pistons from a guy this
week, so the M54 will have 9 viable good pistons. I also have the crank, 12 good
rods, and intake/exhaust cams/trays/lifters, etc. from the motor.
This thing is ready to be stroked, everything is there, it just needs someone
with the time to do it... Unfortunately, working 12-14 hrs a day, and having a
newborn make it difficult to find time to build things in the garage, and I'm
not paying someone to do it, when I'm perfectly capable. So my loss could be
your gain...
Really more interested in selling (prefer NOT to ship, but will at your
expense and logistic setup). If someone wants to trade, I'd only be interested
in turbo parts for the M20, maybe some wheels (NOT NOT NOT looking
for super highend sets of wheels, however a nice set of ESM RS reps, OZ Mitos,
etc may appeal to me).
Also, potentially interested in an E28, E30, E34... I can add cash or another
car (2002 VW Jetta TDI Manual with only 97K) for the right car.

ad:
The motor is in excellent condition no leaks anywhere. idles smooth and pulls
like a train all the way to 7000RPM.
M50TU with all the accessories (PS,
A/C, Alt)
413 ECU
E30 ready wire harness
Cometic HG
ARP head
studs
Metric mechanic cylinder head (3 angle job, port and polish,
etc)
OBD2 headers
E34 oil pan setup
New NGK spark plug
New Coils
boot
New water pump (metal impeller)
New 80 degrees thermostat
New
Pilot bearing
Powder coated valve cover (Wrinkle satin black)
New Bosch O2
sensor
Flywheel
Clutch
Pressure plate
Since the rebuilt
and swap, I put 4000 miles on it.
In total I spent $2600 to put all this
together. I have all the receipts.
PLEASE NOTE JOEL GAVE ME THESE RECEIPTS!!!
END
PREVIOUS OWNER'S FOR SALE AD:
With all that said, I'd expect $1400 for the engine without M54
parts. Keep in mind this is a drop in swap. E34 pan already on, harness adapter already there, everything to drop it straight in your car. This is a swap, not just an M50 w/ ARP bolts, MM head, etc.
With EVERYTHING M50TU SWAP and M54b30 with 9 pistons, 12 rods,
freshly polished and checked crank, cams, trays, lifters, etc. $2000.
