I don't really have any words to explain, what, why, or how. Swap was done 3 owners back, I know the past two owners, do not know the guy who did it. I am parting the car, the 617 runs well, which is why I bought it.

Thanks for posting. I've always wondered about that, but never would do it because it would be like going backwards.....

Even if it wasn't trashed in the front end, those cosmetics are pretty guffed up. Silver hood, roof, and trunk lid? Gross! Did a 17 year old own it? Just out of curiosity.

That wiring looks scary!

What are you going to do with the engine?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I've seen the same swap in a w201. It wasn't pretty. Also an e38. The mind boggles

They just left behind the M103 harness because they used the m103
Temp sensor, oil pressure sensor, etc and then just left the rest behind to do its own thing.

My intention was to sell the motor as the motor itself its good.
