S50 for an E34 ?

[SlidingAlong]

Hi Whit,

Sure, I'll see about writing something up. The S50 block is substantially similar to the M50... a conversion from the big-block M30 to the M50/S5x (S50|S52|S54) would be sobering. The "new-tech" sixes are a bit more compact than the oldies...

Hey Jack - can you do some kind of writeup on this install when you're done with it? I'm looking into alternatives in the long run for my aging M30 and would love to read about how the s50/52 fits into our e34's. From that ebay guy's pictures, it looks like you gain a bit of room in the engine compartment with the s50.

Best, whit

It would be alot easier to buy a performance M30 from www.bavengine.com, probably cheaper to, and it would have more power. Rated at about 250hp and costing $4700 new, with no exchange. Just a thought.
