    sharksforthecup s52 11:1 je pistons sunbelts

    This build is very similar to Mike30's build, but mine will be obd1. My first swap was awesome until the rings went out on the "70k" s52. So I picked up an m52, put m3 cams in it, and switched it out with the s52. That car is sold and I'm building another e30. For clarification this will be my seocnd swap car, but third engine swap. I didn't want to make a thread until I got the head and block back from the shop. Picked the head and block up today:D

    The build is still in the beginning stages, thanks to funds, so I'm just posting some of the exciting parts.

    S52 with 70,xxx miles
    JE Custom Pistons 87mm Bore 11:1 compression
    Sunbelt cams
    Eisenmann race exhaust (for an e30)

    2007 Z4m coupe 6 speed transmission

    E30 M3 5 lug

    BBS RK's 17x8

            Sorry about the delay. I will get you a prototype on the 6 speed mount.

            I am loving my 6 speed.

                What's up Nick, how did I miss this?

                Awesome man. Your car is going to be sick, wish I lived a bit closer.

                What are the specs on those cams (can't eyeball 'em :p), and does this mean you found a replacement RK?

                  ride on, I'd appreciate it. Although I wont be ready for it until I order my flywheel/clutch for the six speed.

                  I found someone recently that is selling a set for a decent price.

                          cranks should always be stored on their end otherwise they can sag and end up out of round

                            This....was just going to suggest if you were storing it for awhile to put it on end
