My O2 Zen Life

• Jul. 21, 2007 - The Motor

 

 

Here's the motor. 9.5CR new oversize pistons. Balanced and blueprinted and dyno run already 30 minutes. Ready to go into the car.  Heat coated tii exhaust manifold, 'peanut' intake manifold with a light port matching and a 32/36 removed from the original car.

 

 

AC pulleys and mounts also on the engine now.

 

Here is the car's new front subframe. The steering box mount has been boxed and reinforced before the whole item was powder coated. Then new bushings are mounted and the suspension will follow. The motor will be built atop this carriage and go up into the car from below. (Note we are using the Ireland motor mount from the old car)

About Me

Five or so years ago I bought an old BMW 2002. I have spent the past few years bringing this old car back to life. It is way past any kind of a 'budget' but I won't give until she is a reliable, fun car to drive. It turns out I'm having a lot of fun in the process! post script: Restoration completed, Dec-2007
