    Corey's S52 Swap

    Table of Contents
    1. Introduction
    2. Purchase
    3. Engine Teardown
    4. Oil Pan Swap

    More power was needed.
    S52 was found.
    Aforementioned S52 was purchased.
    And here we are.

    My first swap. Before this I've only done suspension work and oil changes. So this shall be fun.

    My car a few months after buying it (chyah, what was I thinking??):


    A little bit later with euro bumpers:


    And most recently (suspension refresh):

    2. Purchase. 2/22/12

    Found a local wrecked '98 E36 M3 with a good S52 motor in it, about 147k miles on it. Called about it and picked it up a few days later.

                        Looks like you're about 3200 in (added up a rough estimate in about 30 seconds) and you've got most of the stuff. So you're looking at about a 4k swap to put about 250 to the wheels. Looking good...
                        The first car I ever rode in was an e30
