[Jand3rson]

20K plus shipping no thanks.

If I had that kind of money to blow, this engine would already be in my car.

I would do it. Not even kidding the in slightest. I already have a kid.

[Reap3r]

Ohh the things I would do to have that engine in the front of my E30!!!!

[Jand3rson]

I wonder what would happen if I actually emailed the owner and told him that for the sake of being that outrageous, I would actually undergo the surgical procedure to have one of my testicles removed in exchange for this engine.

[Reap3r]

How hard do these things actually rev anyway? I'm assuming its over 10krpm.

[Jand3rson]

That engine will rev hard enough to tear a hole in the space-time continuum.

never realized the S42 had slide throttles... sexy as hell.

the thing that really surprises me is the header doesn't look all that different from the stock one.

So what is this from exactly? Why was it made?

[Rodoni]

it was made for the early e36 race cars. wikipedia s42 or google it. I dont know the exact specifics but I do know they made it for some euro racing class and it raped shit.

Im so glad I decided to browse throught the General Discussion forum.

The S42 engine was a 2.0L touring car engine with a 86.5mm bore and around a 85mm stroke, which shared the same block as the street going M42. Unlike the common M42, the S42 had a more sophisticated engine management system, and had individual throttle bodies. The S42 unfortunately did not share the same valvetrain as the M42, and is a solid lifter valvetrain (possibily from the S50Euro) fully capable of over 9000rpm, but was limited to a 8500rpm redline, as dictated by touring car rules. It was mounted upright in the bay, not slanted, and ran on a full dry sump oiling system. The pistons had a static compression ratio of around 12:1, and running on pump gas, the S42 made around 280hp (and up to around 310hp later in it's life).
