Feeler, Custom M104 3.2L Turbo engine
The motor will not be removed from the car until the latter half of next month, hence the title "feeler." As soon as I buy my new DD car I can park the 320 and take out the engine
Description and good stuff:
The motor has 54K miles and 2.5K miles on the turbo setup. The intake resonance flapper has been removed, it basically equalizes air distribution but is not needed when boosting. The secondary air system has been removed as well but I can provide all the parts to return it to stock. The head gasket was replaced 500 miles ago. The compression was lowered, via thick head gasket, but the car WILL be returned to stock compression when sold(makes more safe power on stock compression anyway). In a E320 you can say goodbye to anything up to a 04 Mustang Cobra(12psi with water injection) and w210 E55's aren't even a challenge. I have done a few street races but that's as hard as the motor has been pushed, it has been extremely well maintained. Runs 5w-30 oil.
Bad:
Valve cover is Dark Ford Blue and has several little pinhole scratches, it WILL be repainted when sold.
I cannot include the wiring harness
The manifold has a little rust on it but it WILL be knocked off and painted.
You will need a secondary transmission cooler and fresh ATF fluid if you have 97 722.6 equipped e320 or you can say bye bye to the tranny around 10psi on stock compression(400hp).
Prices are high but they are obo
Price:
1997 E320 54K mile engine returned to stock with all accessories(stock manifolds included, but no studs) except intake resonance flap - $1700 obo
Custom M104 turbo kit capable of 600hp with a few light mods to the M104 - $2500 obo includes everything except down pipe.
Together - $3200 obo

Thanks! I got a 69K M112 a few weeks ago for $600 and I got a 2jzgte with an auto tranny for 1800. The 2j is going in the e320 and the m112 is going in a junk 98 e320 with a blown engine, it will be rear turbocharged using only foreign parts like OBX, ebay and SPA(they are Brazilian made make awesome turbos and RFL BOVs) to prove they are reliable and good.
The 2j comes first and the m112 will be a summer deal unless someone wants to buy my m112 setup before then, complete it, and test it themselves.
