WTB M42 motor

[Robiti]

Hello,

Looks like I'm dealing with either a cracked head or leaky gasket, and rather than digging into the mess, I thought I'd send out to see if anyone has a decent motor for sale as I'd rather just swap it out.

Not looking for anything fancy. Just a decent complete motor to do the job. All my peripherals work just fine, so my main interest is in the motor alone.

I've got an ok budget, but again, just looking to swap motors for my daily driver.

Any info or leads would be much appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Best,

Rob

We've all tried to sell you an M42, at rock bottom prices with free delivery, and you keep dragging your feet. So stfu and stop whining. ;)

I had it for 3 months, during which time you bought at least one E28, possibly two.

I can't even remember how many E28s I have bought and when, not as well as you do anyway.

either way, it is not like I am in a position to buy even now...

Thanks guys. I'm new here so I didn't know to check back, thought I would get dinged in my email when replies showed up... Anyhow, looks like its not worth replacing the entire motor at this time, so I'll just get it fixed. I did hear of one up N of Denver from a cool cat named Andy, not sure if he is here in r3v or not...

Thread dead, but I started a new one looking for a gray cloth standard drivers seat, or blk vinyl set...

Hey Lambo, does Bohannon ring a bell? He's down in your area and has done some pretty interesting things with his E30...

In for pics of the seats...I want them

[Robiti]

Seats sound great to me too, please post some shots. Death, thanks for the suggestion.

Lambo, my friend Bohannon that I mentioned did and LS swap, rings a bell because he is down in LC/Paso and his project is the same color as your car. Great guy, if you ever see him on the road, beep at him!

"beep"?
