Be ready to change bearings.

It would get a full rebuild, new bearings, bolts, seals, etc etc..

It would get the "James treatment"... :)

(BTW James, I tried to give you a ring, call me whenever is convenient for ya!)

why are you parting it? - just asking out of curiosity, not to bash you for parting it!

Actually if its from the M6 then its basically an M88/3 which is a 3.5L first gen S38.

I'm looking for an S38B38 personally =)

Why are you looking for a B38 ?

for a E30 swapp ?? DONT ,,,,,

I have one ,, ok lots of pulling power but use A LOT of fuel + oil

also ,, installing S38 in to a E30 is far more difficult vs S50,,

I would anyday reccomend S50B3x ((EURO engine ))

much more racefeeling,, excellent throttle responce and extreme good fuel economy compared to S38B3x
and the installing is far cheaper and easier

Nice choice...Any particular reason you're going with a G280 as opposed to a G265?
