[QUOTE="LCP, post: 230127, member: 2424"] masCh, yes, of course, simple bolt-on mods are always around... I'm sure there are chips for M50B20, the same goes with exhaust systems, air intake, etc. Anyway, whichever engine you choose, before you put it in, it is highly recommended that you spend some extra $$$ to rebuild it fully first, this will give you peace of mind, and it will be like new (you hafta run it in gently for first 1k km or so). Also, you will not know the exact condition of the half-cut engine. And oh, while you are at it (rebuilding), port the intake and exhaust ports/manifolds too, and lighten, blueprint and balance the crankshaft too... :D :D But rebuilding engines with some performance-oriented mods thrown in here up north can be difficult, not many (if any at all) people can (or wanna) do it.
