Long block M10 121T Head


Jim Mac

Recommended Posts

Price: $900
Location: Northern New England


Description:

Looking to sell as a long block but will consider optional thinking.  It came in a stopped restoration project and has been sitting for many years.  The block has a 78 casting date.  The crank has both standard rod and main bearings.  The pistons are Mahle 10.5s (I believe) and are 89.45.  The head is a 121T with 46mm intake valves.  I began parting for component sale, not believe it was a rebuild, until I saw that the bearings had so little wear.  I then sought out the engine builder who did remember it and said it had been set up with twin Webers, but it came to me with a single 32/38.  I have not attempted to run the engine, but it turns easily and smoothly.  So seeing if there is an interest  this way first.  I will work with your shipper and help facilitate with anyone regionally.

Mike, I will crate the engine and be here when your shipper arrives, given some notice.  So there is no confusion, this is a long block assembly.  Block and all internals, head, cam, valves and cover, sprockets and drive chains and oil pan.  If you were  expecting more, let's talk.  Not that I can't include other stuff, but I don't want to mispresent the purchase.  Jim

VIN 2378579 was a 1976 U.S. model 2002 with manual transmission, manufactured in January 1976.  The original head would have been an E12 (if California version) or E21 (if 49-state version). The original pistons would have been low piano tops (if California version) or flat tops (if 49-state version), either being low compression.  The current high bathtub pistons were clearly chosen to match the replacement 121T head.

 

GLWS,

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
