Yesterday for the 1st time my E30 left me. I went to the father-in-law's to help install his rebuild 289 into his Falcon. Time to leave, I went out and noticed anti-freeze all over the floor. My water pump went out. Father-in-law comes over and says "How much is it to replace that pump?" I then proceeded to say "I don't know, I will just replace the whole engine!" This makes up my mind, next week I will commence M50NV swap. Stay tuned as I may be asking questions.

Here it is, fully rebuilt waiting to be installed since last winter.


Edit: this picture is old... as it now has M52 exhaust manifolds..

Good for you! We need some more 24v's around here. I swapped mine about a year and a half ago, so feel free to ask any questions or I can give you a hand.

Also, time to find a Vanos head :D

Interesting... That would add more "FUN" to this engine.

Awww yeah! To bad it's only an m50. But still awesome! Can't wait to see it done and rope you into giving me a ride

I know... I know... I wanted to keep it simple, Plus I got a great deal on the engine. Free-99!

Well I guess that was the sign you were looking for! Let me know if you need any extra hands

Yes... I may need some help. Stay tuned. Tomorrow I will begin dusting off the parts that were sitting in the attic.

I agree. I want to meet up with y'all so I can see how cool my E30 isn't.

Blackfoot... My parents live there. Didn't go to the fair but my dad did bring home some Tiger Ears!!! MMMMMM... (For those outside of S.E. Idaho.. Elephant ears)

[Farbin Kaiber]

Did they move there, or are you originally from bfoot?

That is where I am from. I left when I went to UofI, graduated and haven't been back since ;D

[gome123]

^^ Let me re-phrase that... we do go back to visit all the time. Just haven't or wanted to move back.

For good reason.

It's funny, people from here want to get out, and people from the city love it here. I could never go back to a populated area. I'm actually a town north of Blackfoot. Blackfoot is too big for me.
