Thanks guys appreciate it. Trying to decide where to put my money here in the next couple weeks with the car. Redoing the wheels, smileys, other little things or do the 24v swap. Decisions suck haha.

M20 turbo would be fun but to do it right is gonna be more than I have in the s50 swap. And I'll take reliability all day. Motor gets picked up tomorrow, I've already started ordering swap parts and parts to refresh the motor while its out.[URL="http://bagriders.com/modlab/"][COLOR="MediumTurquoise"][B]BagRiders[/B][/COLOR][/URL]

The night before I was headed to pick up the S50 a good friend of mine called me and told me he had a mint S52 in his shop with only 70k on it and everything I needed to go OBD1. It was a no brainer to pick it up for the price. So we drove down there with a little Uhaul trailer and brought it home.
On the stand at home

Moved car to my mom's garage to leave space at my Dad's for putting the motor together.
Realized im an idiot and the motor already has a good working mechanical tensioner on it. Mounted up the alternator. Need a good belt part number for an S52 with no P/S.
Went to the junkyard and picked up random bolts.
Snagged an E34 oil pan/pickup and all the goodies from Ebay today. Placing an order with CondorSpeedShop tomorrow for mounts, picking up some gaskets as well to refresh the motor.
OEM seats back in. Wheel Whores air freshner keeps it smeeling like bubble gum all day.
