the first one is OBDI...he needs a direct swap...OBDII
i think the other motor would be too much of a nightmare...he wants reliability...and stock if possible.

hope you don't mind my speaking for ya CaliTopHR

[elchicano]

i typed bmw engines on craigslist yea i knew the first was an m42 but u never know and the second i just added because it came up. But craigslist would be your best hope to find one local. Unless someone in colorado does a swap i would check bfc too.

[PettitWC]

what's up dude, welcome aboard

[teetime4one]

if i had your car i'd drop this in it.
wanna sell it to me and avoid the headache?

i went and looked at that motor for cory...too many miles.
and it was a lot of money for it.

[anthonyl]

Im with teetime4one on this one. I think if you have the available funds do the s52. Or else you will be like me and want an s52.

[teetime4one]

word

[thesk8nmidget]

or even since your tryign to stay low on the mileage just go for a 2.8

[Philly]

im soon going to be swapping out my 1.9L for a 2.8L

If you want the engine when im done with it, its yours for $200-$250 plus shipping... its got 205,000KM's... so like 122,000 miles...
the only problem is im in canada, so shipping probably wouldn't be the cheapest thing.

[teetime4one]

naw, he'll probably take it rwd_king
i want to say i have dibs on it then...contact us before you offer it up for sale...
$250.00 + shipping puts the project in a target price range.
thank you very much....and keep us posted!

good lets see if we can get this Ti running i don't know alot about engines but i could just go watch:biggrin:

[Philly]

alright, ill let u guys know first for sure...

im hoping i at least get the engine OUT before the end of the month, but if i know someone wants it, ill start getting a move on as soon as i can.

I know I won't sell it around here no matter how hard I try, so thats why such a low price...

I will say though just FYI, it does need a valve cover gasket replacement

Well good luck with the swap. i need a valve cover gasket replaced too so we can do that at a tech meet or something:biggrin:

[CaliTopHR]

I am interested in your engine. I live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and was wondering if you could find out how much it would cost to ship to me. Thanks!

[CaliTopHR]

Hey, sorry it took so long to reply. My zip code is 80129.

[teetime4one]

yes indeed...i think that this Blue cali-top will be a nice addition to the club once it's running right.
i'll help out anyone who puts in a little effort of their own.
cory is set to get this car on the road.
and i can't wait to have him join us!

[elchicano]

Well if i can do anything to help count me in.:biggrin:

[thesk8nmidget]

[teetime4one]
