    CT: E30 m50 swap, M50 m52 s50 parts.

    Looking for big NA power so buy my stuff.

    OBD1M50 MAF: $50

    Silver label 413 ECU. $75 Has a red label 413 chip. Ran with cut EWS wire but not sure I needed to cut the wire after the chip swap… most if not all tabs are broken (yea PO!)

    ~120kmi ZF320 from e46 328. $400 Had sticky 5th when I got it, ran redline synthetic oil and it went away. Box sat for a few years and now the sticky 5th is back (but only ran ~15 miles since sitting). Had a hole cut in the bell housing to retrieve pieces of a clutch slave cylinder, has been patched and shouldn’t affect anything with the box. Comes with shortened Z3 shift lever, UUC braided clutch line and a newish slave cyl.

    -Driveshaft from same e46. $100 Has big guibo (e36M3) tranny flange to match above box and 4 bolt rear flange that mates with stock e30 diffs.

    Lightweight flywheel. $300 Almost new ~15 miles I think this is a steel ~13lb fidanza unit but I don’t remember. I know it’s a moderate weight, not super light, and all steel.

    -Sachs S52 clutch kit. $250 Almost new ~15miles

    -Summit (or Jegs?) all aluminum rad. $200 This mofo is pretty thick but fits in the bay nicely. You’ll have to figure out mounts and a reservoir. Jon Volk (666 fab) welded on a plate where the filler neck was and added a plate on the drivers side end tank that’s tapped for the stock e30 temp switch and two 1/8NPTF fittings for whatever you want. Awesome big HP all aluminum radiator on a budget. I have used hoses to get this to a 24v motor.

    6 newish coils (probably a few k miles on them, one of them is different aesthetically than the others but all came together when I ordered 6 new OEM coils…)

    Valve cover with stock oil vent port shaved (aluminum plug in vac port, JBweld as filler). $75 Was planning on front upper timing cover crank case vent. Looks pretty clean, primed but needs to be painted (few runs in rattle can primer...) May paint this soon to prove how sweet it is.

    Coil packs/boots off the Junk Yard Motor. $50 no idea if these work. Will refund if DOA.

    240mm (S50?) dual mass flywheel. $100. No idea on the miles.

    Photos:

    Shows ZF: (m50 long block sold, suspension stuff not for sale)



    As Installed (Shows Rad installed in 24v e30):






    Rad:






    Flywheel/Clutch




    E46 drive shaft (shaft AVAILABLE, Exhaust is SOLD):


    Stuff:

    New (mismatched?) coils


    TMS (turner motorsport) OBD2 coolant pipe kit ($15).

    __________________________________________________ _________________
    Other stuff:

    Also have a bunch of vanos and non vanos m50 parts, rods, pistons, oil pump, cams, valve cover, probably a crank or two. All kinds of stuff, just ask.

        Would you be selling the M50 head separately?

                            up top. M50 isnt worth selling. Just did the leak down. Looks like pretty high leakage numbers on the first four jugs to the crank case but it gets worse: it looks like i have a leak path directly between cylinders 5 and 6. May be the head gasket but wont know until the head is off. I don't think its worth putting a new gasket in due to the high leak numbers on the other 4 cylinders.

                            So maybe if you need a block to bore this is a decent candidate...

                            But that all being said, that opens up the small parts:

                            e34 oil pan/ pickup/ dipstick: $150
                            OBD1 intake manifold: $75
                            e36 engine mount arms: $50
                            Anything else?

                              Any idea what would be involved to make this work as an OBD II setup?
