Cheers lads.
Hopefully Stu. Not sure what the wife has planned for Sunday yet.

This little chromie isn't going to know what's hit it.

Good times

By the way, pics compulsory once it's on the stand and dressed.

Clean up the jiz first though

Post Wed Nov 17, 2010 9:22 pm

At time this thread resembles a disturbing double-act of (resentful) talent and pom-pom shaking.

But there's no doubting the quality of the work from both the 'lads' on here.

Rock it.

Post Wed Nov 17, 2010 9:29 pm

I will take some pics of it as it's going in. I don't think it will see the stand again once I get it back. Rocker cover on, oil filter housing powersteering pump etc on, loom, clutch flywheel and then box on and in!!

Ratch thanks I think.

building engines is a black art
i find all sorts of swaps interesting.
there's always more than one way to skin a cat!
and i like to see how other people tackle different problems.
this forum is full of clever knowledgeable people

Post Wed Nov 17, 2010 10:46 pm

Agreed.

My engine has just sort of snowballed. I just wanted a 2.8 M50 to start with. Then I bough some schrick sticks. Then some S50 pistons. Then Dan did com com ratio calcs for me. Then I thought I had a M50B30 ready for pod. I didn't. So we went the hole hog. Dan stripped the lot down and started again. We put M52 head and S52 cams.

Hopefully with the better M52 management it should run better until it can be mapped.

It will be proper bo

It's in the van. Whoooo
Cheers Dan. Hero

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:41 pm

Is it fitted yet..?

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:48 pm

The subliminal message, on the Cardboard box to the left of the engine, has been misspelt.

Got it running yet Dezzy

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 6:59 pm

It's still laid on it's side in the van guys.

Engine hoist tomorrow. Might get it built up ready but am on my own in reseption so doubt it.

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:03 pm

Dezzys next project will involve a compact

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:19 pm

its gonna be quick!

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:35 pm

I am after a compact when the chromie is finished mate. Track car project. Not the right time ATM though.

Need this and Christmas out the way and sell some scrap before I undertake out else.

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:16 pm

compacts are homo!

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:24 pm

Your sooo wrong Si.

E30 weight ish, same rear axle, E36 engine bay (easy S50B32 conversion) and cheap shell you don't care about. Sounds like the perfect track slag to me.

Post Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:56 pm

nah go for the Z axle e36 saloon,coupe. Theres no weight over the rear end on a compact they're 9 inches to short! I don't really like compacts so ignore me!

I do like the coupe but it's all about the weight. I don't like compacts either but they make sense IMO.
