Schwartz Facelift 87is

[departeg]

However, God never closes the door without the devil opening a window. Introducing the baby slapping demon power plant that is the s52 3.2 liter inline six. This sweaty beast was pulled from the heart of a e36 M3, brought kicking and screaming into this world like Rosemary ' s baby. This will be the new engine in my car and the smile on my face for many years to come. Gathering swap/maintenance parts at the moment, will post up the build once we get there.

Here's my swap list/progress thus far. This is a preview of where I'm at right now.

What the heck is up with that intake manifold on the S52?

It's something called drugs. Kids are taking them nowadays and doing all kinds of crazy things.

If you look at the swap list in the comments section of the engine it explains it all. Also I already have the m50 manifold and corresponding unf#$king parts already.

Amazing the change a set of wheels makes!

What paint did you use for the shadowline?

Thanks, I agree it changes the whole look. I used some montana flat black I had lying around.

Sorry to hear about the M20, but that S52 is gonna be amazing. Wish you luck with sourcing all the parts man

Man inspiration for my schwartz coupe. I need those euro valances. Are those US rear apron? I wonder if I can convert my 84 to that same setup

The rear is a custom fiberglass piece made by a friend of the previous owner. I love the valence

Your car is looking sweet man! I ended up redoing that rear valence looks better now,

Damn dude looks great! How did you do that?

Thanks, just ordered all the swap parts I needed and now the waiting game. Can't wait to get her back on the road.

Lots of test fitting and trimming...shortened it like the plastic bumper and attached it right to the early model metal valence.

and it begins








Found out what happened to my m20





Finally on it's way to my buddies house for the swap





last time a m20 will be under the hood

























Kind of a weird situation. So I bought a 330i e46 rack from Brian but we couldn't find any stock boots for under $30 a piece, these were $7/pc. and they didn't have the same colors, so being out of pocket already with the swap these will work perfect and I actually kind of like them



Had to hardline part of the harness into the car because it's an 87.





Getting close





more to come, I'll post up the first start video this weekend.
