The ultimate M30 bottom end and I need a builder

Hello guys

What would the ultimate bottom end be for the M30 B35 I want to build a super bullet proof bottom end for next year. I am a semi professional drifter in the BDC this year so need a super reliable bottom end. Head work has been taken care of.

I have heard that some of you run a m5 crank but what's the best pistons to use.

Also I need a engine builder to do this so can anyone recommend someone and also what sort of costs to build one.

Any ideas would help me right on my way!!!

Alpina custom lightweight pistons with M88 M5 rods (same as alpina B10) then use a crank from an E34 M5 to stroke the cc up to 3.8.
You could probably get more cc with a rebore.

get one of the 98mm stroker cranks (or a S38b38 crank) and custom high CR forged pistons.

Hi guys

Sorry I've found s38 m5 crank, rods and pistons. Would this be what I am after and I take it this would all fit in my m30 bottom end?
