Quite spendy. I wonder if that's a cheaper swap then the s52. You'd get more power.

Moar power:p

Have either of you seen the 740i on cragislist that needs the new transmission? I was tempted to go get that so I could have a v8 in my eta, but then i realized how expensive all the other parts would be for a swap

Also, should I paint my valve cover/intake blue or purple?

To LATE!! When you start the teardown I wana come see it! I also almost went this route... but scored an M50NV for cheap (Actually, free by the time I scraped the car.)

I'm tempted to do this, or got m52. I think I want to tarbo though.. so It's a hard choice. I don't really want to deal with vanos.

I won't tell a soul what your plans are. ;) Let me know if I can help in any way.

Haha its not. I figure when I have an extra 20 layin around I'll fill the cracks and such and see if anybody wants it then.

Low compression stroker, yes, with the possibility of supercharger. Don't tell anyone though..
We'll see how that turns out. :D

You had me worried for a second there..
$206 was the total, but i had 85 store credit so $120. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Especially if someone wants my old parts!

Bronzit in Nampa, Do you know something I dont?

I know plenty of things you don't know, but none relating to that motor ;)

I was just curious. How much did everything run you? If you don't mind me asking.

[ArtFoodBMW]

Where did you pull that from?
