JIM ROWE....the Metric Mechanic himself....

real salt of the earth people.....I stayed at his home with him and his family for a few days....

I called them up a while back to ask about their engine conversions and I talked with I think it might've been Jim about their engines for about 45 minutes. Seemed like they're good people and I've been wanting them to punch my engine out to 3.3 litres. abit pricey though

Oh man... been a while Pat, what's in your arsenal these days?

I still got that 535i, motor's grumpy tho and I haven't had much incentive to put $$$ into it. Got a 95 540i/6, still got that supercharged 318 (tho the subframe's torn, I'm gonna either part it or sell it), and picked up a 95 M3 to replace it as track bitch. Cooling system just got freshened, time to put on suspension.

a new E30 M3...S38 bound (in the works)
a E30 318i M10 (on the drawing board)
a 91 E34 nv M50 525 (in the dream stage)


spend some $$ on old faithful she wont let you down.....

So wait, let me get this straight, your 3.7 m30 is being replaced with a s38 (with boost I'm assuming ... and lots of it)?

Can I have the old powerplant?

the old plant has already been disbanded.......

what do you want done?

Welcome back Pat, glad to see you're re-joining the E34 ranks.

Keep us posted.

what do you want done?

what I really want is my engine stroked to 3.3 or maybe even 3.5 litres. Pretty much a complete engine rebuild from the bottom up everything but to get up to 3.3 they quoted me 11k. So I'm think it might be cheaper to just go for an S52

For that money, you can have a LS1 swap and lots of go fast goodies strapped to it ...

I don't want an eight I want a big six...as in 4.0l straight 6 but I don't think that's in my price range right now...as a matter of fact neither is an S52
