    1972 2002 Engine

    Hello My name is Ben and I'm from outside of Boston. My dad and I have spent about 18 months working on a 72' 2002 and have had so much fun with it. It's an excellent project to bond over.

    We successfully got the engine running and got rid of 95% of the rust by putting in new rockers, floor pans, trunk pans, and fenders.

    A few weeks ago my dad was driving from Boston to Providence (he's a professor at RIC) and on his way home a hole in the engine block blew through. Everything on the body still looks great but the engine is just way past repair.

    We are not in the financial place to just buy a new engine from another 72' (listed on ebay for 3000-5000) so I'm wondering if anyone has a cost-effective solution so my dad and I can get the 2002 up and running again.

    Hi Ben, 2002 used engines are easily obtainable for sometimes as low as $250 or as high as $1000. Engine from an early 320i77-79 will also work. Look around and you will find one soon.
