    Balls, you got yourself an amazing deal. I was searching for a few months and nothing came close to that. Document your swap with a build thread!

          I just realized the username on this thread lol.
          I'm glad to see I was able to (along with the internet I'm sure) convince you to go 24v right away! 

          This is an excellent motor to do it with as well!😎

            Whoever sold you this engine should run for president, they are a very reasonable person for selling you an S52 for a fair price

              reasonable or daft.

              either way, a fit for president these days.

                    Haha! I felt like kind of a knob for doing that, but I figured you would enjoy it! 
                    If you ever need a hand with 24v stuff, or e30 stuff in general you have my number, don't be afraid to hit me up!

                    I'm sure you will quite enjoy the s52 😄 
                    Hoping to have it done over winter?

                      Id love to have it done over the winter but it really all depends on the $$$, sense school and all. Also whats a good used m20 flywheel worth? The motor didn't come with a flywheel and I'm dying to do a compression test on it (I did get the starter with it though). I know that m50 lightweight flywheels are $$$ and the stock ones are bricks. There's a guy on R3V that wants 150 for one but I can find them on eBay for that price. Is offering him 120 to low?

                        Its used, go for it

                        If im understanding the interweb correctly then the ring of material on the back of the flywheel needs to be machined off for clearance

                          Oh, didn't know that. I thought it bolted right up with no issues.

                            The interweb has accounts that speak both ways, I will let you know when I bolt mine up
