its torn apart right now waiting for a m42.

That's what I would like to do with the M42 I took out of my car. I can see the M42 being an awesome 2002 motor.

we're getting spanked by El Nino finally!

That would be a great set up. Is that preferred over the m20 for those?

I picked it up from decay with diblas itbs. Otherwise I would have just rebuilt my m10 honestly

this also sounds nice

Who has BAR'd an S54 swap?

[CarsonE30]

Paging Bimmerman325i. Even though that's an E36, he's done it

Awesome, thanks.

Any E30's? I know the fuel system is an issue, that's my main concern

[kronus]

it shouldn't be different than any E30 OBD2 swap in that regard. Just needs the full charcoal canister system retrofitted.

the bigger problem is that the cats-in-the-downpipes interfere with the frame rails of an e30. I don't know by how much, but would be curious to find out.

Sooo cars and coffee Santana row?

There's an in-tank EVAP system that needs to fitted. Much harder swap than an S52 in California. All the S54 swaps seem to be out of state, or just sidestep the smog process.
