    M70B54S or how to bring an ordinary 850i engine to CSi level

    just a few pictures of the latest M73 modification.
    The engine is a M73 short block with M70 cylinder heads, Schrick cam shafts and custom chip mapping.

    No, it is the standard M70/S70 one. Just cadmium plated.

    You've got it Wolf - I'll put you up here at the ranch, you can fill you up on old Burbon, shoot guns and ride horses, live like it is still 1870 in Old California!
    I have lots of E38 750IL and E31 850i cars and that we can play with. One of them has your chips already, but this looks much more fun.
    We have a lift, parts washer, big compressor, blasting cabinet, tools and lots of beer and Whiskey.
    When are you arriving?

    All the best

    Hey Jon,

    thanks a lot for this generous offer. If still valid in a few years I may get back to you. But if I'd accept it right now (as Fatandre would do) I'd leave back a lot of very upset customers since I'm fully booked until September at least..
    And this price would be way too high.

    Cheers
    Wolf

    Luckily I do not need this rip off ebay anymore to do business. And building locally is a bit difficult since I do need suppliers (cadmium plating, powder coating, cylinder head overhauling....).
    If someone should every be really interested I can for sure find out what the shipping cost is. They do ship complete cars so why not just an engine.
