    You will need adapters for a m30 head to s38 itbs. Here is a old link a friend gave me about six months ago.

    Oh lol i did not know that. Well if the B38 will mount to a B35 head and i am able to port to match the throttle bodies then ill try for the B38. I know thats going to be costly but a ITB set up is costly so eh what ever lol. Can the B35 head be ported to 50mm?

    So far the only one i can find is on Germany Ebay that are $900 USD from a S38B36. Is there a difference from the B35, B36, and B38 ITB?

    Im going to buy the throttle bodies soon just so i can trap myself into doing it thats actually why i started my tear down before i got a second car to force me to start it LOL dont judge.

    Yeah you and me both its going to take a while. But my goal is to have the car totally panted by June. Then im going to focus on the interior im changing it to black and covering the dash and center counsel in a Suede with suede seats. bye bye $$$$. After I have finished with that I can focus on the M30 which will be getting the following after talking with Paul Burke I am gong to replace the intake manifold with a S38 ITB, Get megasquirt and just have all sorts of fun with this engine.

    Well the interior is just about totally out i just have to take the heater stuff out so i can get to the rest of the carpet. As well as the headliner but then all of the interior is out. I started on unhooking the engine soon the engine and transmission will be ready to be pulled. So if you are in need of a M20B27 let me know. I am not going to take the engine apart its too much of a hassle.

    Okay so Paul was right about my B35 block there are hair line fractures between the water jackets and where the head bolts go in. He recommended to grab a B34 block from a 86. So im going to turn this block that I have into a furniture piece. So if you have a B34 block and are within 200 miles of Auburn CA 95603 please let me know. It isnt dire but i would like to know if you have one. and if your out of the 200 mile zone still let me know if i think its worth it to me ill do the drive there.

    I was on the phone with him for 2 hrs and the guy saved me over $1000.00 in parts. I couldn't believe how much this guy knew. Im going to try to get as many of my parts. from his as possible.
