I'm stubborn so I'm sure I'll make something interesting out of it.

Mid-engined e30?

-I am soooo jealous like a lotta bit!
-But I may have an m54b30 in the lines too. Warped head and pulled block threads; but the crank = stroker time

-Wow, nice. b25 or b30? Are you keeping it OBD 2 or converting? Tell us!!!!

Oh... details, details... It's a b30 out of a 330 w/automatic. I don't see anyway I can keep it OBDII at this point. I don't quite have the "skilz" to defeat EWS.

My first task is to pull the head and get it physically up to task, that may not even happen and I'll be left with a junk head and some nice internals, although I think it will be Ok.

My inclination on this motor is to go standalone injection and then develop a dual-VANOS controller. I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm still looking at the shiny block...

Awesome! I want it, gimme? lol

I have the motor. It's nice and shiny all over! It needs some attention before I can even begin to think about getting it running or installing it.
