M52B28 for sale $1700

I would like to sell this all together if possible and can work something out if you need time to get cash together.

Bad news first. This engine has @ 205,000 on it. It needs a new valve cover gasket. I cleaned this with brake cleaner while I was looking it over so it doesn't look too bad. Trust me, it leaks in this corner.


I am at least the third owner of the car this came from and am currently swapping it out for a different engine. I am located in West Point, Virginia. Half way between Williamsburg and Richmond. I will be going to the Rolex next month so any interest from someone south of me, I can help with delivery.

Now the goodies:

I did do a compression test last week and all of the cylinders were in the same range, 190 to 200 psi. I was later informed that higher was not better but consistent is. I also do not know what the accuracy of the gauge was as it was from Harbor Freight but it did what we needed to find out. I am located at sea level. Cylinders were:
195, 190, 190, 195, 195, and 200. pics in order:









I have S52 cams in here installed by Delta V Motorsports in Richmond. I have the M50 manifold conversion done.


I have a brand new Shark injector that has never been used. I bought it for this car and have never installed it so it is good to go. This was purchased from Turner and is set up for the cams and and M50 manifold with cai.




I have a set of long tube headers from Ireland engineering. http://www.iemotorsport.com/



If it was the difference between selling it complete or parting out I would add this also: Euro housing from s54 and oil lines from the s54.



I am asking $1700 for all of this.
Checking current pricing I found m50 manifold @ $70
Kit at @$200
Shark @$350
Cams @$350
Oil housing and lines @$400
Long tube headers @$400
Plus the engine and the work is done. If you need the exhaust piece to fab this in I have it also as I will be using a different section 1.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Hey Jay, how much for just the M52? I'm building my boost project and i need the engine, I don't really need the shark or anything, i have schrick cams already, though i may need the M50 mani.

here's where it gets complicated, I'd would definitely need this shipped to MA.

Shipping is not a problem. I can figure that out if we can figure out the rest. So you do not want the cams either? I hadn't wanted to do this but it might be easier to sell if I part it out. Send me a pm or you can call me on my cell at 757-784-7474 and we can figure something out. You basically want the engine without the cams and the intake.
