Well this is a sad post but the reality is that this motor will not make a good rally X motor. In a really stripped out e30 there would just be too much torque on the dirt and gravel. I purchased the motor out of impulse when I saw it was the exact spec I wanted to part together plus it was pre assembled and had never been ran. This is just a feeler though, and if I don't get an offer at what I see as a fair price I will just keep it and throw it in a 2002 or something down the road.
Details:
M20b25 block
M54B30 pistons
S50B30 rods
S50B30 crank
All new bottom end hardware
Pistons were machined to allow valves to clear safely
Top end was cleaned and polished (not sure on port.)
All new springs rockers and the like.
Cat Cams 298 :)
Also comes with a sand balasted and pained IM and 19lb injectors already bolted up.
New water pump and timing belt already installed and timed.
All seals and freeze plugs are new.
Motor is extremely clean and as had been mentioned has never been run. I have hand cranked it a bunch and it sounds nice and smooth, also turns smooth.
The three very minor downfalls:
The exhaust studs will need replaced
Two of the valve cover studs got ever so slightly bent and it takes a little wiggle to get the VC off. I would replace them but they also are not hurting anything either. No VC and head did not get damaged in anyway.
Some very minor surface rust on the lower rear of the block, literally just blew off though. I suppose that's from not being soaked in oil like they normally are lol.
It also comes with a nice big packet of documents and what not.
I will update with some pics and more details later.
I am just going to ask what I want out of the motor and not an obo price that then leads to lots of low offers and negotiating. I am going to ask $2,500 for the whole deal for a forum member + shipping. I will also throw in other parts if they are wanted, FOR FREE! Just ask. This includes transmission, just pay shipping.
Note I am keeping the car just going with a 4 cyl so don't ask for other parts of the car.
