[SOLD] M90 from Euro 1980 635csi - Stamford, CT USA
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 2:27 pm
I bought a grey market Euro 1980 635csi locally years ago. After parting out the rest of the car here, I kept the engine as a planned swap into an E30 with a conversion to Motronic 1.3 from L-Jet. Fast forward to now, and the engine has been sitting on a stand in my garage basically untouched and I'd like to pass it on to someone who'll do something constructive with this relatively rare and unique powerplant.
I removed the head, intake, and other ancillary parts. The oil pan is still attached and was never taken off. I have and will include the bottom end with oil filter housing, head, intake, AFM, airbox, injectors, alternator, starter, original head bolts, original timing chain, and a box of miscellaneous small parts like some cut connectors/wiring pigtails, etc. I believe I have the original ECU as well. The cam will need to be replaced if the engine is to be run with a period mechanical L-jet distributor - one of the two notches on the end that part of the distributor gearing slots into broke off. The engine was demonstrated to run and drive to me right before I purchased the car. Converting to miles from kilometers, it had about 100-105k on it when removed. There's some surface rust on the block as would be expected for the age of the engine and having been in a car stored outside by the previous owner I purchased it from. I have a thick 1" folder of receipts from the previous two owners mostly detailing work to the car itself that will be included as well.
Please note - this is located in Stamford, CT USA 06902. I would strongly prefer local pick up but I will entertain shipping on the condition that it is up to the buyer to arrange. I would be willing to possibly strap the engine to a pallet but otherwise the extent of my involvement in shipping would be to wheel the engine to the end of my driveway and detach it from the stand to hand over to the shipper - I'm not interested in building a crate around it or bringing the parts anywhere to a freight depot. The block's on a stand in the back of my garage at driveway/ground level and I don't have a hoist, so please bear this in mind if considering a shipping proposition. It's sat there for years now and I'm not in such a rush that I can't, for the time being, more or less wait for someone to pick it up or figure out painless shipping. Thank you for understanding this part.
I'm admittedly not up to date on pricing for these, but after having someone recently fall through (but after having discussed pricing) say $1000 as a starting number. I'm open to negotiate, particularly if you have a link to one or more recent sales of similar engines to use as a guide to a different price range. PM me with your intentions and we can speak on the phone to address specific questions and anything else for interested buyers.
Price lowered to $750
