Glad to see some subscribers on here. The 323i was sold a couple of years ago to some dunderhead that couldn't appreciate it and he wound up selling her for DOUBLE what he paid for it to someone in Miami. Well, I hope "Pixie" has a good life down in FL.
In any case, I now have Sierra. A 1979 320/6 euro with an M20 2.0 liter engine and Solex 4 barrel carb setup. The engine is leaking like a sieve around the head and front / rear seals so it's time to pull that tired engine and while I'm doing that might as well install something a bit larger!
Enjoy the pics and log onto bimmerforums.com for my thread regarding this rebuild/swap project.

| This is the one table for the block (2.7 out of an '85 325e), pistons, oil pump and other associated bits from that engine. |

| This is the 95K mile M20B20 engine in the 320/6 right now. Great engine but you need to keep a cardboard sheet in the boot in order to slide under the engine when you park anywhere! Notice the Sanders compressor and A/C setup straight from the factory. UM, good old R14.... |

| This is the photo of table 2 with the new crank (the original 2.7 crank was ROASTED!), bearings, more bearings, gaskets, water pump, and more bits to be able to put this engine back together. Nearly there! |
