Getting rid of the S52...

[Iain]

Cloth tape > crystal meth

How many gears will the gearbox being used have? 5 or 6? And how much does the gearbox weigh?

I notice one of the engines has the rare Alpina Kompakt Fandenkruegar. PM Japandrew73 as he needs one for his 333i replica.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been in contact with him for the last couple of years while he's been 'working' on his engine swap. I'm his State-side tape supplier. Needless to say, he is funding everything that happens in this thread. He loves that cloth tape..

New wheels?

I'll be running Ronal Turbo's (15x7 5x120) with 205's for my long daily highway cruises to and from work. I'm going to use E38 Style 5's with 245's (might go with 255's in the rear) for when I actually want to drive it like it is meant to be driven. The Ronal's have been bead blasted and are pending polishing and paint/powder-- whichever I end up going with.

Some wheels in the garage--

Also, I vote El Ess Juan or S54.

Tough choices.

New wheels?

I hope my instincts are right on this one.

I think I know what you are thinking, and I think they might be.

Let the mullet flow.

Duh, 750 Dominator on a Vic Jr Mani with a lumpy Crane cam.

Subscribing because this looks like it's going to a fun project :up:

[Mde36]

s54 or bust

[FredK]

My guess is, it'll be an engine with an MTI. Just not as many as you're used to.

Sooooo when this happens will it be sold to me?

Lol if you want to buy it.

So Rthor do you have an s54 up your sleeve? :)
