This thread will contain the building of two M20b25's to be fit into two very different 2002's.
THE BACK GROUND
This project is being put together by myself of Ireland Engineering (This is NOT something I'm doing on the job, it is a pet project build with my free time.)
I love the idea/novelty of a weber powered M20 in a 2002. I know it won't make as much horsepower as a set of ITB's or turbos, but frankly I'm not building this for big numbers, anyone can do that. The sound of three webers at WOT and the novelty of tuning carburetors are a few of my reasons in going this direction. This car is intended to be a fun-to-drive Outlaw 2002.
ENGINE #1
Looks like the previous driver didn't change the oil that much. The cam journals were grooved beyond the point of repair. Took a toll on the rockers as well.
the block sitting with good company
The car that this engine will someday reside in. My daily driven 1970 2002. The plan will be to keep the exterior as stock looking as possible (i.e. no front spoiler, etc.)
ENGINE #2
This engine is also in good company!
A turbo tii!? Das ist schön!
engine #2 and a hacked stock manifold to take some dimensions. Groma made up a set of M20-2002 motor mounts. And unlike the other ones out there these retain the same engine angle as in the E30.
Headers to fit in the 2002.
