Stormspike,

hey man did the engine kit arrive yet. Let me know if everything is cool...

[sonnyqm3]

68k miles, 125k miles on the way and probably a 54k miles if anyone is interested..

[Eric]

will the motors be from two different cars welded together like the M3?

[sonnyqm3]

Anyone else interested in the euro engine kits. let me know I have a few coming in...

[sonnyqm3]

getting 3 more engine kits this week. low mileage motors are getting very hard to get. I am getting a 64k miles, 71k miles and a 125k miles. 64k miles is kinda spoken for...

[sonnyqm3]

Sounds good!

motor should be shipped out by next week from europe to your buddies shop...

[gobuffs]

what kind of implications are you talking about?

Motor being confiscated, fines, jail time, etc.

[McGyver]

Also, realize there are still customs and legal implications to importing such a motor.

what kind of implications are you talking about?

[stormspike]

Sounds good!

[sonnyqm3]

I will keep you posted once i get all the info on the engine kits. If i see something fishy then you will get your check back before i even place the order..

[stormspike]

With only 1k dif, I want the one the yard and numbers show is a good one. They both are probably good, but one can try to hedge as much as possible.

I don't mind paying whoever as long as the engine is ok :)

[stormspike]

You were very straight forward on the phone. That's why I decided to go forward with this. I don't have loads of cash around and I hope this pans out. You can have it shipped direct or to your shop to verify all parts shipped and arrived ok. Let me know what we are doing so I can schedule the shop time for the swap.

Will we get to look at the compression/ pics of the 64k and the 65k before shipment?

[ACHTUNG]

I guess we will roll the dice a little on these engines. I have sent my deposit on a low mileage barring any bad compression, etc. Karim said it would be tested on his end before final shipment to me. Anyway, I guess we will know how this turns out in a few months :).

I am also confident that Terry can work out any minor issues once the swap is started. Pics will be coming when they start the swap and respray.

Wish I was still on board. Good luck with the swap and I'm looking forward to you posting your build.

Thanks for being supportive bro, I talked to you on the phone and I was very straight forward on the whole deal. I will make sure that you get the lower mileage engine kit. According to my source there is 3 available, 1 with with 64k, 1 with 65k and 1 with 86k. So I will make sure that you will get the lowest mileage and probably have it shipped straight to u with all the paper work. So this way you will know that there is no hanky panky business going on. Hopefully everything will turn out good and then you can post pics of the engine with swap on the forum.. I might even have you pay the remaining balance directly to the source...
