Just take the siezed block, hit the pistons with a wedge and sledgehammer until they cave in, and then hit it with some WD40 to free it. Caved in pistons=greater displacement, something around 5.7 gallons. Should make around 900 horsepower.

theres alot of people trying to make "2.7i"s right now. so much ignorance and wishful thinking comes along with that topic.

just swap the block from the e to the i and use all the i top end and electronics , have the head shaved and it will be fine.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

i filled it with oil right after i bought it and the light never went off it was on the hole time. the cooler was like broke in half. i mean it was dumping the oil hella fast

[Fidhle007]

Not to mention and oil pressure warning light too...

[Fidhle007]

This is why these cars have an oil level warning light...

oil cooler was split when i bought it and didnt notice so on the drive home it drained all the oil out started knocking hella bad then seized. : i wasnt meaning to use my i head by the way. but thats what i wanted to know. i gues i will just keep waiting to find an i motor.

It'll work if you use everything from the "i", plus the block from the "e"

it will have less power than an "i", tho

when you say that the 87is has a "bad" motor, what is wrong with it?

[e30:)]

i know its been coverd but i keep getting confused with all the different combos. i have a good running 2.7 and an 87is with a bad motor. the IS is a project and the es has a mess of electrical problems, can i put the i head on the e block into the 87 is? would all the electrical be plug and play? i know search search search but i wanna know spacificly if this will work. thanks
