Eurotrash Motorsports: M21 2.4TD into an E23 7 series...
Not your usual TDIclub thread...and not the usual place to find yourself a good diesel engine...
so what is under the hood you ask?
well it's a BMW 2.4TD M21 engine...all 150k original kms of it
looks like back in the mid 80s, Ford purchased 3000 of these babies and dropped them into some Lincolns...pulled it out yesterday
turns out they also used the original BMW transmissions too
therefore - direct swap into anything BMW from the early 80s to mid 90s
on the lookout for a receptor chassis right now - can't seem to make up my mind...320s and 520s are a direct swap but a 7 series would be oh so sweet...
stay tuned - this should be a lot of fun....turbo is a T3 from what I can see so a Holset fits nice and tight in there...engine doesn't have an IC from the factory so I`ll put one in, bigger injectors and oh look at that - a Cummins fuel pump is pretty much a direct fit - this is already a straight 6...
