    Engine block wanted!

    I am looking for;

    M50 block - (vanos or non-vanos) that does not have to be perfect as I will have it bored to 86mm

    or

    S50 block Must have clean cylinders

    or (possibly)

    S52 or M52 block S52 needs to be clean but M52 does not


    I would also be interested in an S52 short block in good condition. I am posting this here because I am hoping to find something local. The reason I need a new block is because I just found some small scratches in one of my S50 cylinders that I don't think I can hone out. So, if anyone wants an S50 block let me know. Thanks.

    Have you tried honing it out? You might be surprised. If not, I know Reckless_Havoc has one in Hillsboro. Kind of a drive, but it's a complete bottom end, fwiw.

      I have a complete nv m50 for $300. I'll be making several trips down that way so I can deliver.

        Yeah, I actually did hone it already. I think it may be possible to hone them out, but I just don't know if I would be taking off too much material. The annoying thing is that it is only in one cylinder, the rest of the motor is in very good condition.

          $300 delivered for Keith's engine is a smoking deal, especially considering it's condition.

            I am interested. How often do you drive down? How many miles does it have?

                Not trying to take a sale away from Keith up there, but ive got a block with head removed, no oil pan, just block, crank, rods and pistons, 203k miles, cylinders 1, 3, and 6 have light scoring id sell for $150 meet half way. Or trade for e34 5spd parts. Let me know. Was gonna either turn it into a coffee table or rebuild and boost it but the latter wont happen for a long time. Lol

                    While your engine sounds really nice, I have decided to purchase an S50 block I found instead. I appreciate your offer though.
