Guest Spargo Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Hahahaha it probably has less power than when it started! Its perfect, i'd rather one with a V12 - I'll see if I can find my pics of the one BMW built. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, those Chrysler 318's and 360's are fairly decent for 35 year old engines! there's people who built 350hp ones 25 years ago by raising the compression, whacking on twin 4 barrel carbs on a custom manifold, and a decent set of headers & exhaust , still running on factory internals and not changing the servicing at all raking up thousands of miles without any rebuilds.

318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 NOT WRONG!!! I won't disagree, I'd pick a turbo M30 over a worked 318 V8 ANYDAY. Especially if it resided in a 635. Drool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 After talking with the owner, the engine has dynoed at 332 rwhp.. With that kinda information, it sure gets quite tempting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
