My M60 swap

[Jack89i]

When I unwrapped the engine, the oil filler
Cap was off..just sitting in a crevice. Not sure as to how long it was like that though. Surely people aren't that dumb to leave the oil cap off are they?
On another note, I found a 80k mile m60 about 30 minutes away from me. I'll be pulling the valve covers before I buy it though..

People who don't have to pay for things they wreck can be pretty careless.

Good luck!

Rebuild M20 with some performance upgrades and done.

I really do miss my m20. There's nothing like a well built m20 screaming at 6500rpms..
However, after rethinking/cooling down, I'm continuing with the m60 swap

Update:
Picked up an 80k mile remanufactured Alusil engine. Nice and clean. If this doesn't work out then I think it's a sign that mechanics just isn't for me


Has a complete wiring harness too!

Fukken sweet man, don't wanna jinx you but I think this engine'll work out good for ya. Just keep at it and you'll be done in no time!

Got the brakes mounted today..very tight working space. Hope I did it right because I never want to do that again. I just need to plumb everything up!

Good work! I can't wait to get my M60 project started.

My first time using bondo..lesson I learned: more does not mean better..sanding this stuff sucks

Do yourself a favor - the next time you're planning on doing body work, buy some rage gold. It's about $45 from summit if you get the big can, which comes across as kind of expensive if you've never used it before. but trust me - after using bondo brand for a few jobs and trying out evercoat's rage I will never go back. sooooooooo ridiculously easy to sand.
