[bmwpower]

Dude, you have to get an engine stand! Would make things a lot easier and....less sweat.

i just bought the whole engine off a 525i as i had the harness of a 325is and a red label ecu-it cost me around 500 bones for all.took all necessary items for my obd2-obd1 swap
bought them off ebay,craigslist and variuos bmw forums...
after i'm done,i'll sell the 525i long block,e34 harness,s52 parts and silver label ecu to recoup some dough....
here's what i'm presently doing in 100 degree temp.

From weather.com: "Outside temperature 101 degrees. Feels like 111."

I backed the convertible out of the garage and drove down the street. Came to the first stop sign. Made a U turn and returned home.

Feels like 120 to me. You're an animal.

Hey, Im looking to swap my s52 to obd1 before install. Thinking that I would rather pay alittle more if someone had everything then try to piece it out. Is there a good list of everything I need and where should I be looking. I posted in the wtb section. Anyone have or know where I can get the stuff for a decent price.
Thanks

Will I be able to use all the parts off my 92 m50nv, except for I will need a s50 ecu and wiring harness?
