Who actually has one of these heads?

 

Take it to China

 

 

Profit?

$70,000 for the motor.. how much for the head do you reckon?? The block/crank/pistons are common, so a lot fo that must be just for the head.

 

Ask the Pinas we have on here, there are half a dozen members from up there I think. They can take a look for you, & I expect they already know of those motors.

Everyone wants one, but I would be wary of scammers.

 

I know there was a scammer selling these things on the net a while back, had some photos of some motors he was using to presell then never deliver them to overseas customers. There were some major issues if I remember correctly.

 

Rocking horse poo just doesnt become available all of a sudden.

 

 

 

Exactly, but let the buyer beware.

I'd be keen if it all works out and it's under 5 grand :) Not likely lol and you have to deliver it personally haha

id rather destroke and turbo an old bmw 2002 motor hehehe

Now you're talking. We definitely need 1500hp for qualifying :D

 

Actually, that reminds me of a doco I saw about Cosworth building their F1 engine. They were trying to run up a Ford 4 banger of some sort with a big turbo on it on the dyno to check if it would be viable as an F1 engine. It was probably the same block series as their BD motors. Anyway, the thing made it to 11,000 on some unspecified amount of boost before it went pop. So these things are possible if you have the money skills and know how.

good to know someone else knew about the power output of the bmw motor

Is that the one where you could see the head lift on the dyno?

i didnt see that one ill have to have a look for it

 

i read a writeup about them a few years ago

If it was set up with readily available parts, e.g. valves, springs etc from a production engine, then I'd potentially be interested.

Heres one for sale from a legit shop in the UK.

 

Got a spare 32000 pounds?

Anyone with an acount appears to be able to place an ad.

 

Note, it is said to be in the Phillipines, not the UK.

 

Not suggesting it's anything but legitimite mind.

Yep, its the same one that's been floating around for ages.

You'd think if you're advertising for that sort of money you could put up pictures better than those from a mobile phone :P

Always makes me laugh.. some clown wanting $4000 for his KE70 photographed at night in a gas station with a mobile phone... They just have no idea at all!
