    s50 to replace the m52

    This thread was created more for a place to throw pictures.
    I pulled the s50 I bought last week and let me just say, for 137k, this motor was EXTREMELY well maintained.

    This will be mostly iphone pictures as they are convenient for me to post whenever.

    Brought the engine to the shop and not a spec of cleaning was done. This is literally how I got the motor:


    At this point, I removed the manifold to label every piece of the obd1 harness before it gets shipped off to get the adapter hardwired directly into the harness. Should be nice. Notice the extreme cleanliness of this motor. Again, I still can't believe it myself.


    Then I decided to throw the manifold back on and clean up the tranny a bit. There really wasn't much to clean as it was flippin spotless when I got it. Remember, I pulled these off the car myself. No one touched this car to pull off parts before me. I guess this car was just some freak of nature well maintained machine. Turns out the waterpump and thermostat and hoses all around were just replaced too. Oh and the compression check turned up some awesome numbers as well! Score!


    The guy who I bought the motor/tranny/everything else also threw in this e36 m3 midpipe. Notice the lack of cats and resonators. Straight pipes. Too bad I don't want them.


    Well, that's all for now.

        Well I cleaned around the intake manifold runners where they mate to the head but there was so little residue there that it still wasn't worth cleaning but I did that anyways.

        Motor/Tranny/all accessories/throttle body boot with maf/two ecu's, one with dinan chip/straight pipes/3.0 steering rack/harness/and other little stuff for cheaper than I want to admit.

        I owe it all to craigslist.

        Looks like I'll be making a for sale thread for my obd1 m52/zf pretty soon here. Fully plug n play, no bs swap.

        Literally drop it in your car and go.

            Wow, well you certainly got a nice bundle of parts too. Great score. craigslist is awesome. Sometimes you just find those deals, and its turning into an "ehh, a 15 year old engine,etc" thing and people don't know, or care to market parts like these that are getting older but we still highly desire.

              I'm not sure I'll part the zf from the motor. If and when I choose to sell the current setup, I will offer it as a whole first.

              And justin, I guess it was just meant to be. There was not a single oil leak from the usual places (valve cover, rear main seal, etc). I consider myself lucky once in a while.
