What could I get for my M42?

[devonjordan]

With my S50 swap finally taking place, the M42 is going. I am wondering what I could get for it...

200k on the motor, still pulls strong. Needs a new thermostat and that is it.

Same on the transmission, clutch replaced in february, maybe has 4k on the new clutch.

What could I get guys?

TIA

Did you ever do the profile gasket? If so, when?

[BimmerToad]

The fact that the M42 survived to '07 suggests the timing profile gasket was replaced.

For the worth, I gave the supplier of my parts my engine in exchange for a better deal, so I can't really help you there.

I didnt get the car till it had 192k on it, back in october last year, now its at 197k. I only know the maintenance that I have done, and can check on other maintenance with my cousin, he sold it to me.

There are always 2002 guys who look for the M42 engine for a swap, its pretty common, check some 2002 boards, although I can't help you as to which ones.

If i could find a [cheap] mid engined porsche trans that would bolt to an m42 id do it.

Good call!

The 2002 guys like them eh, I guess Ill give that a shot. Any sites to get me going?

With that many miles, it seems like a good candidate for a motor build. Check m42club.com to see if anyone is looking for a core. Probably worth $200-400

couple hundred probably

[AlarmedBread]

I will give you $300 shipped ;)

[doucy2]

I've seen them go $400-800. I like the go cart idea better.

I sold mine for $200 with a leaky oil pan
(previously cracked)

It had about 180k on it, ran strong!
