It Really doesn't look that bad. It's wi, kind of have to expect it.
Dons is an up and down kind of place, that's actually about 20 miles from me.

Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

Where did you get the motor from?

I bought it from "We Sell Rusted Pieces of Shit", AKA Don's Sportscars in Hortonville, WI.

Very nice build. I am working on an m52 myself and have those same wheels for the car

Got my OBDII S52 up and running yesterday and its a hoot. I did a full rebuild so I am still breaking it in and have not hammered on it yet, but I am enjoying some low end torque! I love this thing.

I bought the engine for cheap out of Wisconsin. Never again, everything was rusted. Here's how it came courtesy of the delivery truck (future engine recipient on the right).



Gross!



More rust...



Started tearing it down. Popped the head off.



All the parts for the head.



Started tearing the block down as well.



Block stripped down and ready to go to the machine shop for some work.



Back from the machine shop after a long wait. My God I love clean car parts!!!





Ready to assemble the head



Checking ring gaps on the new rings.



Mostly assembled...and looking damn good!



The M20 coming out. She still ran awesome after 249,700 miles.



OUT!



S52 IN!



Doing work. Harness installed, manifold in, blah blah blah. Installed a SPAL electric pusher fan using 328ijunkie's how-to here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show....php?p=2601951 It works great.



At the exhaust shop getting some work done


The final product! 40 miles on it and counting...
