Was Expecting to Just Fix Blown Head Gasket but ..

[validius]

I have a 325ix motor that ran before it started being removed last year. Right now it is still in the car. PM me for info.

If its a 1988 Super eta it already is a "2.7i". It already has a 2.5 top end from the factory. That's why they called it the "super eta".

GL with the manual swap.

The super eta has the 2.5 head but not the right cam and springs or the larger intake, etc. from the 325i.

I don't really know much about the ETAs, but reading this thread (http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...2-7L-super-eta), it looks like you're only partially right. (if you believe everything you read on the internet!) :)

Sounds like while the super eta has an "i" head, it doesn't technically have the "i accoutrements". It appears the super eta head had single valve springs and a less aggressive cam. So there's still work to do to make the long block itself a "2.7i" (not to mention the intake/injector/exhaust/afm/ecu changes).
