Yea, I picked it up. Sourcing all the parts. The 2002 is on eBay right now, so that will fund the project. Stay tune.

Update with no pictures:

Drove up to Knoxville to meet with RobertK and pick up the S52 and trans. Sending out the wiring harness, and ECU to Technica. The plan is stay OBD-2 with the engine. Just dropped the engine and car off to Dan (Hamlerda). This is going to be a well documented project with pics.

Done right, this will be really great!

After all the same issues I've had with my rebuilt S50 I kinda wish I had kept this S52. It was a strong motor minus the crappy spark plugs the PO had put in it.

And finally done with it...exhaust and seats left
