I hope you guys dont mind another IS guy.
Im on BFC and quite the car forum whore.
But BFC didnt have the info i needed so here i am.
29 yr old Networking tech who loves his BMW.
The "IS" recently started knocking so i get to do a swap... another M42.
Im a decent mechanic who Restores old Muscle cars.
Ill make a thread in the engine subforum for my swap. I would be extremely grateful for any tips or tricks for the swap. |  |  | | 02-23-2010, 04:24 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

nice IS, welcome to the site. You'll get all the info you need here. For the most part try and stick to your chassis year when getting another M42 to avoid complications. It should be a breeze yank and tank babey | | | | | 02-23-2010, 05:08 AM | #5 | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: N. Carolina Posts: 13 |

Looks like a great garage... All GM muscle cars (except that black pony) No mopar love?
Anyway, there are some differences between the 92 m42 and the 94-95 m42, but I can't offer any real specifics, sorry. Hope it isn't too big a deal swapping them.

I noticed some differences in ICV and Valvecover.. i hope most stuff will bolt up from my 94. Im NOT a ford fan, but it pays the bills. Mopar love...  Corrnet and Drag Dart in the pic..  And this 70 Challenger we picked up a month ago..   | | | | | 02-23-2010, 06:08 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
A '67 Coronet with no b-pillar... Perfect for a GTX clone!
Yeah, Mopars were my first experience in building cars... My last one was a '68 A-body Barracuda... Wish I still had that one today... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Ugh... you just HAD to let me see that it really was a 'Vette that I saw in the first pic. [sigh] Oh well, at least it's not a split-window. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

If it was a split window, i would have to include a box of tissues and some jerkins w/ the pic.

[sigh] One of these days I want to own an American car built on the day I was born. A Corvette would be the obvious choice, but a '63 'Vette is going to be out of my price range for a while. Unless I find one to fix up, but that's way out of my league too. Oh well. BTW, I'll assume that you know that it's "Jergens." LOL __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Tell me about that Mustang ... I can't see much of it (my eyes are old and my screen is an iPhone), but I'm guessing a 67/68 fastback? | | | | | |
