welll my e30 engine has gone to the dump

compression is wayyyyyyyyyyy bellow spec in all cylinders .... i am thinking a warped head ... or just maybe a crack in the head ...

so i am trying to look for a motor for the car ..

:help

m20 (original motor in the e30)

anyone know of one that is currently running and willing to be pulled or are being pulled ?
or a local junk yard that has one?

i can pull the motor, transport the motor ... and i have cash!

illl also be trying to source an engine also ... but its better to have multiple people searching

thanks much
mark

i would really want to do a conversion

i have the next couple weeks off from school ... so i would think it would be the best time for me to do that ..

but i payed for next quarters tuition .... so yeah ... but i got cash

keep and eye out for me .... please ...

and would be just easier to put links on this thread .. dont search craigslist as much as i use to

I saw someone selling a complete conversion (in WA) S50 w/56k miles on it for $4000. This included everything.

Nothing wrong at all.. less then 20k total on the rebuild.. price is 3500 for motor + turbo setup.

a little bit more than i expected to spend ...

i am looking at my current statements in my accounts and my current income rate ... i could possibly spend 1200 bucks .. but not sure yet
