My engine in my 318 is blown. It's the m10 engine. I basically have three options, do a full rebuild on the m10, swap in an m20, or swap in an m52. The m10 is as bad as they say it is but if it's a lot easier and cheaper than I'll just stick with it. Which option should I go for? How much would an m20 swap cost? Thankshttps://omegle.onl/ vshare

What has "blown" in your engine as the M10 is virtually indestructible ?, is it the carb or injected version ?
As to what to do with it ..............well that depends on what your intentions for it are as in need for more power etc ?
The m50/52 is a good swap but brakes ,drive train and suspension etc will all have to be looked at too.

Fixing an M10 will be a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than an engine conversion, especially if you are paying for all the labour
