Con Rod Length

[ryan_george]

Just a quick question.
Anybody know the lengths of the connecting rods in the 325e and 325i m20's?
Are they the same length, or different?
Thanks.

325e-130mm
325i- 135mm

Thanks!

No Problem sounds like to me your building a stroker m20.
If so Check out the October 2004 issue Of total BMW There is a Great article that goes step by step of how to build a 2.7i Engine

You read my mind!
Well, I'm just trying to research as much as I can for now. Aswell as keep an eye out for parts. I'll look into that mag.

Along with a million other out there hoarding parts now... Good luck with it. Ely your mounts are shipped.

Ya, I was working on building a 2.7i but quit after being scammed out of some pistons from a guy in the UK. So now I have a nice Shiny m30 engine in the garage ready to go in that has almost as much power stock as the engine I was building was going to have.
