LS swap is going to be cheaper than a boosted 4.2 i6 in the long run and more reliable so do that and run from the boondoggle. Yes there are guys out there that have tamed the 4.2I6 and made good power and unique and albeit nice exhaust note, I would not put the time nor the effort in when a better and more well proven option is right in front of you.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Probably a good reason you never see these motors in performance applications. Financially rebuilding our 5.3L or a new one and stick it to the TH350 that came with the car makes more sense. Why do SBC's have to be this good.91' 318is 90' 325is

Car is in really nice shape. Taking a break while the compressor fills, but about wrapped up on the jobber. Needs shock/struts, timing belt was unknown interval, water pump bearings had play, did all the "while you are in there stuff" valve adjustment etc. Top has a couple of tiny holes from what appears to be from the cabrio lid, rear seat has a patch on the top, but overall a very well kept low mileage unmolested e30. Bottom of the valve cover is spotless, head has a light gold color which is typical of conventional oil changes.
These kind of cars are enjoyable to work on - much better than the clapped out swapped cars I typically have to sort wiring, replace bailing wire with bolts, wiring nightmares etc. lol.
Bradnic is a super cool dude. Also told me about a particular 885 head he recently purchased. :p
Thanks for buttoning the vert up for my mom. She went absolutely bonkers over the car.
As soon as she saw it she assumed it was mine lol. Parked it in her garage, told her it really looked good in there.
She said yes it did. I said it's yours. she said No. I said yes. She said No. I laughed and said yup. all yours. She started crying.
Been driving it every day come hell or highwater ha.
I'll bring her back to you soon for the suspension work. Gonna donate my top and top straps as the PO never replaced the tension straps... also on the hunt for a pristine black vert rear seat for her.
btw on those tiny top holes (2 equally spaced on either side of the top)... I'm convinced it's from some sort of tie down from a car transporter.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s
HOWTOs:
DB vert plastic bumpers
OEM Keys
MTech1 docs
88 ix Lach/Card
91 ic Calypso 3.1
86 Cosmo 2.7
OEM+ or bust!
reelizmpro: I will always be an e30 guy.. I still do all of my own labor
TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30
e30m3s54turbo: I save my money for tuner parts.

Pass...
I had trailblazer with the I6 and it was nice.... ..for a small SUV.
lots of torque down low.. lots..
like ~250 beginning somewhere ~1500 rpm
