WTB: M42 + Transmission

[AndrewBird]

I'm looking for an M42 longblock including wiring harness and ECU. I don't need a power steering pump or AC compressor, but an alternator would be nice, but not required. I also need a 5-speed transmission to go with it (Getrag 240). I'm in Bend, OR so it needs to be fairly close.

Thanks!

Bump!

do you want the original 240 trans with it or 260?

[AndrewBird]

I thought they came with the 260? Either way, I just want whichever came with the M42 stock. This will be going in my MG, so I need basically the full drivetrain, minus the diff.

I've got what your looking for, but i'm in michigan....

Andrew, you need a 240 (late model). The 260 will not work.

[AndrewBird]

Cool. What I found online said that 318i's came with the 240, but that the 318is came with the 260/5. Good to know what will actually work.

Glad to see you're still going this route Andrew.

[AndrewBird]

At first look, it seemed like it wasn't going to fit, but I was able to measure an engine in person and now I think I can make it work.

M42 and Tranmission

The 318is and 318i (with M42s) both came with the same transmission a 240. We have several of each of the cars in the family and they take the same transmission. I have an M42 and a 240 available in Seattle. Coming to Grass Valley, north of Bend first weekend in October so I could get it that far with no shipping. Email me offline at busbeagle@aol.com
