This is mine, 1991 with 120ish k miles. I've had her for about 3 years. Very minimal spots of midwestern rust. The hood is a respray and cleacoat is shot but beyond that it's 8/10 or so. Auto unfortunently, and very bare bones but everything works. I struggled for a long time with an oil consumption issue but I've got that under control now.

have you put many miles on it since the rebuild? and have you driven IX's with the other two diff options ,and if so how do you like driving with the 3.64's instead , i really want a set for mine so just interested in your opinion so far ....

I've got about 75 miles on the engine so far when I sprung a coolant leak and I noticed my timing belt was shredding. Currently looking into that at the moment, but I will share my first impressions of the engine/ diffs.

My stock iX has 4.10 with cam/headers so it is much different than stock. It has more power up top but feels like a dog below 3k and pretty buzzy on the highway. It would be nice with a longer final drive for highway driving.

I also have driven a bone stock iX 5 speed. It has much more low end grunt than my 91 iX but kind of runs out of steam up top. The final drive isn't much different in all honesty, slightly longer/ better for highway driving. This is probably preferable for daily driving.

With the 86 it is different. I also installed a lightened flywheel (~10 lbs) so I have tons of low end power/torque. It is addicting. I also love downshifts now due to the lighter reciprocating mass. I have only revved it to 4k RPM but the higher CR and displacement probably add to the torque. I think with the stock head and exhaust I am restricted further up top at the moment, but haven't been able to test it. The final drive is awesome. Its a 12% difference from the 4.10 I have and when I took it on the highway I finally can cruise without buzzing at 3500 RPM. With the 4.10 im at 66 mph at 3000 rpm but the the 3.64 I am at 76 mph at 3000 rpm. I like it a lot because even with the longer final drive the black car feels faster than my white one. If you can find a set I would recommend them for sure! (not sure how slow they would feel on a regular m20 though)
