my accent finally beta powered
so i have been putting this motor for a little while to thow in the x3, it started a just a bare block with 9k miles according to a prevous member... i found a rebuild head done by napa to oem specs except an xd intake cam
i was also lucky enought to buy tanc's intake manifold with the 70mm tb
so far car has been running great ive been daily driving it and its a blast...
future plans are gonna be to turbo it once i gather more parts

Wow man! Nice job cleaning up the block and the engine bay. I bet it goes much better with the bigger IM and throttle body.
Is this a GSi?

Intake manifold is a stock manifold but has been ported and has a 70mm flange welded on it to fit the ford racing tb , helps out a lot in top end

Good job. Seeing this makes me wish I had painted my transaxle before installing it in the car (vs. leaving it looking like old iron)
