2.8 litre crank M52

[Whitty]

Hi all,I read in Andrew Everett's E30 book on page 135 about using the 2.8 litre M52 crank in the M20.He says these cranks are available due to the Nikasil bore wear problem.Does anyone know how I could get one of these cranks?I would also need to have the crank sent to Sydney Australia.Thanks from Richard

2.8 will produce more torque than a 2.7 even its only a little bit more.

Built properly and tuned properly they can produce 260 bhp.
