    Easier and quicker, yes. Cheaper, yea probably. So that leaves the problem of finding one. I know the junkyards around me mostly likey don't have any BMW's... But... Ooohh... I know a cheap and effective solution... A Chevy V8... Or... A V6 I have a 3800 V6... Oh my god... I might have just solved my problem.

    Yea, true that. After I posted that, I did some reading and it may just be the fan clutch... But, uhh... I kinda hope it is toasted. Not from a monetary point, but from a mechanical point. Think of all the possibilities!

    It really is going to depend on how FUBAR'd your engine is...

    Huge problem... Options?

    Okay, so being the idiot that I am (trust me you don't wanna know) I think I went and done blew up ma engine. I won't go into details just know that it doesn't even turn over anymore. Because I overheated it. Congratulations, me.

    So anyway, a question; Would it be cheaper to rebuild my M20 or look for another engine to swap in? Mechanical expertise isn't an issue. However, money is. Whatever route I go I'll end up going with forced induction eventually so that is going into my decision.

    Any help on this will be, and is, greatly appreciated.
