      looks like you got to a good start. which 24v engine you putting in?
      -FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"
      -The Beauty in the Tragedy-
      MECHANIC SMASH!!- (you all know you do it)
      Got Drop?? ;-)

          That looks like the intake manifold of an M30 to me. I hope someone didn't tell you that was a 24V engine, because the M30 is still a SOHC 12V.

          Or is that just the car that you pulled the brake master components out of?

              ya i saw the m30- but thought he was just using the brake master cylinder from it

                  that was the hydroboost donor car :p

                  Id love to put an S52 in it, but the pricing and availability might not allow that... thinking M52 at this point... maybe with a S50/52 head.....

                      I am thinking he posted that because of the hydroboost hardware.....

                          M52 is the way to go, opposed to M50

                              Can't wait to see this one come together. M52 engines with S52 cams are still great engines.

                                  Glad to see another m52 with s52 cams swap coming along. I love mine!

                                          has no cams though = /

                                          this will mark the second 24v in recent times (on the forums atleast). The last one was a s5x touring.

                                          At any rate, consider me subscribed!
