That's healthy, ha.

I was referring to the 318is 2.0l though. I like M42's and always like to hear good numbers from them.

My last m42 was putting out 285 at the crank...No shit. But it was next to impossible to drive around on the street.

Hey, do you think i could stop by and check out the frankencar sometime this week?

I'll take a set of those plates of your hands too..

Man that would be a blast at the track.. How much torque did it have :)?

Anyway, I wouldnt mind some specs on that. Sounds fun. We have tons of M42's and M44's at work. It's time to make a Frankenstein 4 pot.

It's difficult as hell to get the parts for it now I really screwed up when I sold that one (I thought I was done with cars).

Yeah i stopped by once a while back about suspension,

back when my car was bone stock and would have left no impression whatsoever..

ill prob stop by monday or so

[dude8383]

It was great... However you must understand that this particular m42 is bored (and dry sleeved) to 2L and was putting 155 to the ground. (I'm de-tuning it a little)

On a stock m42 3.73 is not bad at all on the cruse and will get better overall fuel economy but a tad sluggish out of the hole.

oh yeh i remember you saying that...i'm just asking because a friend of mine has the 2.1 MM motor and i know that he wants to switch over to a 3.73 from a 4.10.

thanks for the info!

Yeah... I can't help myself.

Once I get started on a car I never know when enough is enough.

My original intent was to pop a head on it and just get it running.
