^ One of the best sounding engines ever created. I tend to think that some sort of divine inspiration occurred with that team of British engineers.

slant6? nice. Any specs on it?

yep! I just googled it and seen it looked really clean. I was hoping that some noob would ask what kind of m20 it was lol.

What BMW chassis was that red, carb'ed m20 with the weird manifold originally in?

When entering our first LeMons race we were told by the judges that any e30 sporting a Slant 6 would be immune from penalty laps. We've contemplated it but so far have yet to choose that route. It's hard to justify ripping out a perfectly good m20.

True, plus the slant six would make an e30 nose heavy.

^ all BMW inline engines are slant, they dont count?

Yes, I imagine that with a cast iron head and intake they must be, what, 150lbs more?

It's got to be! I just remember pulling the one out of my Dart and thinking it was a heavy sob for what it was... But it was more weight for the a trip to the scrap yard lol.
