Yeah, I can't wait for me MM pistons. Higher CR, valve pockets, bored and longer stroke = happy time.

nice!! Which MM pistons you going with? I was looking at them a while back

[blefevre]

2900 sport pistons. 10.0 CR, 2mm over bore, works with stock "I" rods and an eta crank, comes with the valve pockets. I have almost sold the DASC a few times to fund it, but then I would probably get kicked out of the house or something.

wicked. I was looking at doing their 3.1 rally stroker but went a different direction

That would be sweet. I was going to go the swap route but it's just too common. After the supercharger and the E30 beast setup I will either do the M30 or S50 swap into some E30. Or turbo the jeep, BAH too many decisions. Lets just hope I never graduate otherwise this will get out of control.

Hopefully in a V12 direction.

Hopefully in a V12 direction.

With turbos too!

no kidding. If I actually had money....? HPF S54 E30 would be sick.....

V12's just the idea of the moment. I tend to go in different directions. Cammed high compression M70 or M73 sounds badass to me right now, but ask me next week and it'll be another engine.

don't forget the nawz!

Don't forget to strait pipe it.

I've heard it's only 40 lbs heavier since it's aluminum block and heads, but the only data I can find online says it's as heavy as a euro S50, so 330lbs. Dunno which to believe honestly, this is for complete motor with ancillaries.

The M73 can't be cammed (like it matters for this build) but is a good bit lighter than an M70 and has 326 hp and 361 ftlbs. 5.4L 361 ft-lbs!!!!!

M70: 300/326 hp/ft-lbs, max stock rpm 6400. heavier, but can be Schrick'd.
M73: 326/361 hp/ft-lbs, max stock rpm 6400. Lighter, but less tuning potential

Megasquirt either to 7000 + custom fabbed long tube headers = winnnnn!

Dyno of six speed converted M73:

and a vid of a cammed ITB M70 in an Ultima:

^ours wouldn't sound like that....but goddamn.

The dyno is of an M73 with extrude honed manifolds and BBTBs IIRC.

Dude, eff that. I have two S52s FS, I'll cut you a deal. ;)

With turbos too!

yes pls....

Megasquirt + V12 will be three bitches and a half. We'd have to run 2 EDIS-6 systems (we can use one trigger wheel though), as well as two MSII ECUs. At that price point, we need to evaluate alternatives. I'm not sure if the M70 has a cam position sensor, but I'm pretty sure that the M73 does, which means we can run fully sequential ignition if so desired...

brilliant!!!!!!!

I tried to get a 318is the other day but it sold right away, otherwise you would only have one S52. :)

Eff that, mount it in back seat. Mid-engined-V12-E30 FTMFW.
