Questions about parting a car

[alpinaclone]

Its not an auto so his is the 4.10. Also, the 4.27's aren't that popular w/ the 318is guys, since its still a small case which is weak.

I guess I remembered incorrectly.:)

Car looks clean btw. What does the parts recipient look like? Maybe just yoink the engine out of the other car and put it in this one.

Your parting that why?

I have a 325i that needed top/interior/fender/plastic bumper conversion. This one had a blown engine and was relatively cheap for the things I needed. I need an autotragic due to the wife not being able to operate more than two pedals :(. Thus I went with the 6cy as the 4cyl auto just didn't do it for me. It is a shame considering it was owned by one family and all history was available. I really don't want to send it to the crusher so hopefully someone will want the leftover shell.

UMmm......you're parting that gem out? That car is 100 times nicer than mine. Sad I wish I could have it :(

What is wrong with it? Blown headgasket?

4 inch hole in the side of the motor.

I'd have to convert it to automatic. I'm not that skilled so an engine/transmission swap would never happen on my budget. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=118395

no... your '87 auto should have a 3.73 med-case (88-91 autos have 4.10 med-cases btw). The 318i has a 4.10 small-case (weaker). No swappage there.

Please don't crush it. Except for the trunk that car is CLEAN! If I didn't live 900 miles away I would buy the shell.

How do I get the steering wheel off and the heater box without dumping antifreeze on the carpet?

heater box : use compressed air to blow the water out of the core
