Are there any m50 swaps in our group?

Truth, with a nice exhaust you cannot go wrong with 3,000 rpm's, only thing is that first gear will be almost pointless, even with my m42 I fly through first. What year is the car you want to swap?

Solid, looks like a nice car!

feel free to come look at my swap whenever. i will be doing some maintenance in the near future (oil, ebrakes) so that day would be best i think.

yup i have an m50 swapped late model car.
didnt do the swap myself, bought it that way.
its an m50b25tu with the trans from the same car still attached.
with the 3.73 it was super torquey, lots of fun but too high of rpms for the freeway.
with the 3.25 it is still way better than the m20, but not quite as ballsy.
i have no complaints about the car except i dont think the brake booster was done quite right, as it leaks and causes a lumpy idle at times.
oil = so easy to change
power = good
27 mpg, 30 if i drive like a granny
anyone who tells you an m50 isnt worth it doesnt know what value is
agreed.... they are much better engines for routine maintenance over M20's in my opinion. I have had a few swapped, a few M20's, a few m20 turbo's. The M20 turbos were the most fun but the most headache.

Bleblob, if you are still thinking about a swap let me know. I know them inside and out.
And to top it off, mine is running like a champ! Lol
