[QUOTE="python_dev, post: 9279, member: 5980"] Hi All,I'm thinking of doing up a little project and wanted to see any suggestions from the general forum. I am working with an M42 because I want to. to suit my own ego/pleasure/etc. I know there are other ways of doing this (maybe cheaper) with the bigger 6ers.Concept:M42 EngineHiOP or Schrik Performance camsM47 Crank shaft (stroking and strength)High compression pistons (about 13:1 compression, will lower from M47 crank closer to normal)new exaust headers (not sure which yet)remapped chip (Means 95 onwards chip)Ported and polished top overhaul (Maybe solid lifters from the Mini)< forum input here >4-throttle, titanium retainers, racing engine bearings?Going into E36 with current M40 and 5 Speed manual Getrag 260 (keeping my Manual)Any further suggestions accepted accept the normal upgrade to 6cyl as I said, doing this for my entertainment along the S14 lines sort of a concept S15 ;) if BMW made another 4cyl M3.
