So this thread is going to be about my m52b28 build. I just picked up a bare block for $80..it still needs to be honed and resurfaced. For now, it is sitting patiently in my garage until I get the parts. This engine will be going into my 1994 325i which I picked up today for $500. It has a blown engine (owner doesn't know whats wrong with it), so I will be ripping her apart to diagnose the problem. I would consider this to be more of a rescue/build thread. This car will be tracked mainly for road course racing and possibly drag

***Please be patient on progress since I am a broke ass college student with a part time job
