Good news everyone! the 98 540 got a motor transplant and will be able to run in the fall! I took the head off the old motor after pulling it and cylinder 7 piston had a hole in it. not a big surprise after finding piston rings and such.. anyway, the motor was put in just in time for the fall run so i will be participating! see you all there!

That's awesome. Glad you were able to bring it back to life in a short amount of time. Hope you join us in the fall. Can you make the ride to Phily?

Very nice, if you weren't able to get the engine, I would have suggested doing what a couple people have. Take an e36 M3 engine and drop it in there with a turbo. I saw a 528 that had 500hp with that setup.

I agree, maybe next time we tell you we see smoke out your tail pipe you will listen, but then again I would not have either -Dave

ahahha yah you should have seen it when we went through the i95 tolls after getting towed 98.5 miles for free with AAA. we gunned it after paying and it filled the toll booth up with smoke that lingered for a good time.. il be bringing that bad piston to the fall run if anyone wants to see it lol
