Shit man, I have an early m20 you can have for FREE if you want to come down here and pick it up.
It has sat partially disassembled for about two years, so it will need a rebuild.

Also, car-part.com listed six m20s within forty miles of here. So if you have the means of conveyance, you can have your pick.

shit man thanks for the info. what is wrong with your m20 that you have laying aroundneed m20 blockComment

Nothing really. I pulled it out of an old e28 parts car I had. It ran well, but needed the valves adjusted when I yanked it. I kept it in case I would need a spare one day.
Oil pan and intake are off of it, but I never touched the head. Has been covered the entire time.
It is from an '84 528e, it should swap directly into your car since they are both pre-eta, but someone here should verify that.
