R3V knowitalls...identify this engine..*pic*

[Mr. Burns]

Said he pulled it himself over a decade ago after the cAr was rear ended...swore up and down it's an m5 engine.
It doesn't look like an s38, (5spd anyhow) and that's no s85 lol

Anxious to find out what it really is.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Sounds like the seller got taken for a ride when he bought it to swap into his pickumup truck.

[Mr. Burns]

Getting Vin on Saturday.

He's telling me now it's a straight 6 with 6spd tranny never split from an m5.


Rooooooooooight

[ThatOneEuroE30]

24v for sure probably a M50

[Mr. Burns]

the very same voice that reasoned with me to get the starter replaced at a shop as I wasn't in any mood to wrestle with a Ford Focus in -30C Canadian winter outside.

[LJ851]

...but that voice in my head tells me it COULD be something totally awesome...but is likely not.

Is this the same voice that told you to take your wife's car to the big box store to get the starter replaced?

[2mAn]

Exhaust manifold are cast iron, not tubular steel, so that means M50 not S50, correct?

I noticed that too, thats all I can tell from the pic besides that its a 24v

[Mr. Burns]

uhh ask for the VIN.

I've bilked these resources already.

convo is at a standstill.

I'm not dealing with him anymore.

if he wants to sell his "highperformance built" drivetrain, he's gotta have a little give..like information to start with.

[viceversa]

[the imitator]

uhh ask for the VIN.

[slammin.e28]

I hypothesize it was pulled from a 6cyl swapped Ti, thus the gentleman thinks it's rare since all Ti's are 4cyl.

[viceversa]

uhh ask for the VIN.

[Mr. Burns]

you could always ask for more pictures

like pulling water from a rock.
