Well, like many of you on this board, I've long contemplated an engine transplant. To this end, I'd like to know as much about the prospective engines as possible. So let's start an m/s/50/52 engine info thread. Please post links to sites which detail the differences between the engines (pistons, cranks, heads, cams, valves, blocks etc).
Hopefully, through this thread, questions like the following could be answered: Can you take an obd1 vanos 2.5 and bore it and/or stroke it to reach 3.2 liters displacement using s52 parts, then swap cams and, basically, have an s52.
I'm kind of looking at interesting alternatives to a plain m50 swap. The motors seem plentiful and relatively affordable, and it would be fun to buy a thrashed one and do a performance rebuild, hopefully to exceed s52 hp etc. What's the cheapest way to 300 naturally aspirated hp with these engines? For example, could this kit be incorporated into an m50 with different crank and/or rods to create an s52? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2461304057
So, with that introduction, let's flood the board with info about these engines, including links etc. Have at it and have fun.
