Not so far Neil, trying to source one in Aberdeenshire area.

Think I might need to phone round the local breakers.

Cheers.

Well it's amazing how easy the front end of an E36 comes off. This should make fitting a new engine much easier!

Definately nae the pump as it looks fine. Think the Gasket was the problem.

Hey Neil, I'm trying to sus out replacement engine options at the moment. The M30's a big old heavy lump, they're cheap but not sure how easy they are to fit. An M50/M52 2.5 or 2.8 looks the simplest option.

I need to work out some figures to decide what I'm gonna do with it.....The Chevy LS1 conversion being at the expensive end of options! I seem to have grown very fond of the V8 burble!

By the way if you ever need another set of hands while you are doing a conversion on this, just shout! I would love to get to know the dirty bits on an e36 a bit more intimately lol

Yeah can't beat it but I wish I had a day to labour, I started at 7:30 last night and finished at 11:30....it was dark but I was feeling my way to the exhaust manifold nuts anyway.

Mmmm Oily bits !

After 2 cans of Carlsberg Export and a few skint knuckles I managed to get the head off for inspection last night. I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting more damage than was apparent! I'm assumng the bottom end might have some damage due to the overheating so I'm on the lookout for an M52 Engine (or a cheap S50!)

Oh and the Aircon must have been fully operational as I was blasted with high pressure gas at close range!

Serious rocking horse poo I'm afraid.

How about dropping in the trusty M30 and bolting on a supercharger...

Nice one!  It doesn't look dark enough in the photos for Boston but that could just be the colour representation on the screen.  Boston replaced Lagoon which is why I thought it was older.

If the engine is dead it should be simple enough (for you!) to drop in a 2.8 or an M3 lump.  Or you could be brave and try a V8 of course

It must just be the Huntly Sun that makes it look lighter!
