Guys,
I bought a complete m50b25 out of a 525it and thought I had "something" to put in my 91 318i... I'm new to the BMW scene, not new to swaps though. Since I picked this up, I have learned about VANOS, and S50's. I now have access to a S50 long block at a decent price and was curious as to whether I would see any benefit to using the short block in my swap.
Why not use the head?? This was supposed to be a budget fun car (I sold, got out of, the ultra modified LS1 scene, due to it turning into "how much money do you want to spend") and I picked up the turn key m50 for really cheap. I am ready to get this thing going and somewhat frustrated with the hours, days, of research treading through the forums.
Cheers,
Blake
