Picked this up today for $1000.





165,000 on a non-working speedo. One coil is bad, so it is only running on 3 cylinders at the moment, but I have another coil on the way. Other then that, engine seems to be in great shape. Compression numbers were 180 across the board.
Here's the twist. I'm pulling the engine out and putting it in this:

Should be almost double in HP and torque with the added benefit of fuel injection and a lighter engine. Swapping the 5-speed as well.
My plan is to get it running correctly and drive it for a week or so and make sure the engine is running well and fix anything while it's still in the e30. Then it will be parted out.
