I'm on the fence. The BMW is down for brakes and now RockAuto is BSing me on availability of parts. I really don't feel like riding in the diesel for five hours, so we'll see how this goes. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
Yeah but it was a craigslist motor. |

Somewhat. I've since seen a couple m20b27's for sale for pennies or given away for free. I could probably take both of these motors and build a single good one but I'm getting tired of m20s. |

Yup. There is an e36 at lynnwood PnP with the hood stuck shut that's only been there for a couple days plus a couple 525's that I can swipe enough parts from. I have tomorrow off so I'm hoping I can run down and steal it. |

Who's gonna tow the inevitable breakdown guy back to Seattle?
You can catch a ride with me if you want. You know you don't want to miss out on a good party.
Because 3 hours in a stiff thirdgen is better than 5 hours in a diesel Ford.
Also FYI it's only like 3 hours from your place to P-town if there's no traffic. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

My buddy Vince will be coming down from Tacompton and putting that '83 Olds on the dyno, think he's gotten most of the bugs worked out. I just did an oil, filter, and plug change on the Formula today so it's running well. (Knock on wood, no dyno curse!) It's also back to daily driver duty since I sold my ranger. Any body really excited this year?? Anyone bringing something new? _________________

Starting to look like it.
I am eager to see the Olds run. When I rode in it last it seemed like a pretty decent little engine.

Five hours round trip if I drive fast and don't hit traffic. With the regear I can cruise at 70 all day, but the diesel vibration gets to you after awhile. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Ah. Round trip would be 5 hours. Gotcha.

Three words: Ell Ess Juan
Although I am expecting to only make about the same or a little less than my last engine, it'll still be a good time.

That seems to be the smart money B...
I second the question of where and when the get down will be getting down. ![Confused](images/smiles/icon_confused.gif) _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

I picked up all my m50 swap parts today for a ridiculously cheap price at PnP. It never ceases to amaze me how much BMW guys charge for crap. I have a line on a motor. I MIGHT get it in if I bust my ass after school and before work. There's hope... _________________

I'm excited to see the El ess Juan in action! The Olds should do pretty well. I think he'd be happy anything over 250 to the ground, has a chunky comp cam, and pre-73 heads, but he should have bought a 455 and put the work into it... |

This is the Pacific Northwest! If you cancelled events due to rain there would be no events! ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |
