BMW E32 Engine Change Pt 2

[More350Power]

That looks like a lot of work and not too much space on those cars. Thanks for videoing!

[PoofDuddy]

Thanks you for to showing swap engine.

[Crazey60]

great video.....small question........why didn't you just REBUILD the one you pulled??

you drove that in to park right? what made you get the donor engine as a replacement versus rebuilding?

[Aussie50]

It was cheaper and easier to do a swap over than to rebuild the old engine. a rebuilt head was over $1200 alone, the whole long block I bought was $1200 in total.

I still have the old short block and will fit a rebuilt, shaved and ported head eventually.

love ur vids  insteresting how the alternator has a exaust tube thats wat it is isnt it? to derect heat away?

[Aussie50]

the duct on the alternator is for cooling air coming in through the front bumper, directly into the windings and out the alt casing.

Dude, you need to clip your fingernails!

[animebsd]

so do i lol

[Aussie50]

lol meh, its normal for a grease monkey like me

[bonecrime]

I always keep mine trimmed short, for some reason long fingernails annoy me quite a lot! :P

[mattyvt93]

Nice video, is that an air cooled alternator?

[douro20]

140-amp forced-air-cooled alternator...

[douro20]

I think a Delco alternator would work; not as easy to service as a Bosch but just as good. Iskra alternators are similar, but I wouldn't know how much one would cost.

[Aussie50]

yeah, a delco replacement is an option.

I'll do the brushes and bearings first

[V8Jagnut]
