    Feeler: M20 Stroker Crank

    I've got a 2.8l M52 crank that's been modified/machined to fit an M20. I built this engine a few years ago and it was easily the strongest M20 I've ever driven. It dropped a valve and destroyed the block and head, and it's been sitting in my garage ever since. The crank was not hurt when the engine went. Shoot me an offer, the worst I can say is no.

    Here's a pic of it still in the M20 block.

      Fyi, the set up I used uses stock Eta rods and stock 325i pistons with the skirts machined off, though I'm sure you could use 325i rods if you used custom pistons.

        Did you mean the an M52B28 crank or a highly modified M50B25 crank?

        and the M cars are a multiplier

        regular repair Money * 3 = M3
        regular repair Money * 5 = M5
        regular repair Money * 6 = M6

          Sorry, yes, M52B28 crank. My mistake.

            Per forum rules, a price is required in for sale threads. That said, if you post a price I may be interested.

              $500? I think I have around $750 in it. I really don't know what it's worth.

                  Like I said, I dont really know what it's worth. I probably have that in machine work and balancing, not to mention what I paid for the crank itself. If you think that's too much, shoot me an offer.

                    I think you need to be ready to take a big loss...

                    M52 cranks are only $100, 2-300 if there is something special about them. The spacer thats needed to use these is another $100 max.

                    I could see $300 being a fair price maybe $500 as a flexible asking price ?

                      I'm local and interested, but $200 is probably more realistic. Also, it'd be highly recommended to pull the crank and get a clean bill of health from a machine shop first.
