M52 Aluminum block

Trent, you're crazy. That block alone runs about $2000 from the dealer, pistons included (but that's all). $1200 for a low mileage one seems like a good deal. Has a nice crank too ;)

Yea, I know the price...but when I was really looking i found low mileagers from 400-600. I guess I should have bought one, but I thought that was too much!

Where did you find prices that good?

I still am considering the block, but I'm afraid it's going to get expensive when I start getting 'nickle and dimed' from having to buy all the sensors, accessories, and ecu seperately. So far I have no other parts for my M5X swap other than a M20 flywheel (that's in my car)

Man, that was just me making some calls to junkyards not even as a shop. It will get expensive when you goto get oil pan etc etc. The expensive part of these engines is the head, not the bottom end!

Unless I missed it on the page, how much? I could pay you to buy it, tear the motor out, and ship it this way :)

Its an auction so high bid wins. If you are really interested in it we could probably split the cost since I want the interior and suspension stuff. I am going to probably go down there and take a look at it once the time comes.
