Good idea. I know where you can get and M52 for cheap.:)

I sent you a PM concerning the block... :)

[smonkbmw]

after much selling and shipping of parts i have accumulated a small chunk of change and a $150 bill with ebay for selling said parts on there. enough actually to almost fully complete a s50 swap. but for some reason im bent on this s14 idea, i really hope its all worth it in the end. and introducing what will power my car:







88k s14 with trans, harness and ecu (yes he has the plenum etc also). im spending *drum roll* $4500 for all of it. the seller is allowing me to pay him what i got right now (3600) and the rest when ever i can get it. which should be soon as ill have the trans and any other parts i cant/dont need to use for sale. the coolest part is....the guy that owns it (55ish and retired) is driving it up to me from tahoe!! i told him id buy him dinner and talk about cars for awhile after delivery. i want to pick his brain as he runs a Henna m3 with a Pete McHenry built aluminum blocked s50 with a Vortech blower on it!!!!! hes running pulled factory fenders to fit 245s front and 275s!! rear. all sitting on Fiske's and looks stock as all hell. he assumes about 475+hp but its never been dynoed either.

so im stoked and hope to be able to update more on the regular as i resume my build!! ill keep you all updated.

That S14 is purdy...

[318isbmw]

Very sexy s14. Don't blame you for wantin to keep the s14 as it would be more fun.

[Jean]

Sounds like potentially a nice pick-up! Good luck with it :)

Congrats dude. It takes a lot of balls to see some projects through. This will get you up to speed as quickly as possible, so you can get to the bodywork!

Glad to see you're sticking with the S14, I figured you were going with a 6 after the part out :D

This was a SoCal car. Got rusty then came to the PNW.
