QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) I have an m20 block and head lying around. Their not together at this moment. One of the head bolts snapped off and will need extracting (not hard) otherwise its perfect. Never blew smoke, ran very well, and only did 160 thou ks. Its also pre-facelift so jet-tronic, like the block the 520i had? (with dizzy attached to block) Your in welly though, so may be a bit far, but its yours for $150 plus postage if you want it. (I had a set of mags shipped up from greymouth for not much and this is physically smaller) Let me know. Can supply thermostat housing as well, I also have a radiator in very good nick.

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Could probably ship the block, housing, radiator for something like $100 from depot to depot via meinfreight? I can check it out for you on monday if you are serious. If you want the other stuff, like alternator, power steering pump, hoses all ancilleries and the head etc etc (this includes thermostat housing and radiator you can have the entire lot for an extra $50. PM to let me know. Alex. Edited November 2, 2008 by QuickSilver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
