    Parting out M20B23 with fresh maintenance

    Parting the M20B23 out of my grey market '83 323i. Unknown miles (car had 67K on the odometer, but it was inop), good condition, ran decently smoothly once I got the distributor in the right place. Came out in favor of an S52.

    this has a 200 casting casting head that's been ported to fit a M20B23 intake manifold, a mechanical distributor, freshly cleaned and rebuilt injectors, and the following new items installed in the last 1500 miles: timing belt, tensioner, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, FPR. Accessories (AC compressor, PS pump, fan/clutch) included if you want them. AFM, airbox, spark plug wires, coil, exhaust manifolds and downpipes included. Harness and ECU included, along with spare harness, ECU and injectors. No flywheel.



    EDIT: no longer for sale. took it apart. it turns out it has a 200 casting head that's been ported for the 323i intake! which kind of sucks.

    prices for parts:

    block: free
    intake manifold: free
    oil pan: $80
    oil pump: $30
    fuel rail + recently rebuilt injectors + new FPR: $70
    200 casting 7-bearing head, complete, with new plugs: $100 (no shipping)
    2K mile water pump, belt, tensioner: $30
    L-Jet front timing cover, has a crack: sold
    valve cover: $40 (I have three available, all cleaned)
    mechanical distributor: sold
    alternator: $30
    water distribution block, new sensor: $25
    rods: pending

    prices are shipped on everything except the head

    I'll start getting photos up

        thanks guys! I'd prefer not to part it out. Maybe it'll tickle the fancy of someone with a 2002 or e21 that wants to mess around with a mechanical dizzy..

                  Man I tired giving my m20b20 away with no luck. GLWS parting will be best bet probably.

                            it's what I did on mine. Head is in Michigan and the Ecu and spark plugs are on the way to god knows where. Forced firebird I got a b20 distributor let me know it's pretty much brand new.
