The inline-six made 700 hp and 900 Nm of torque on 1.5 bar of boost. You can read more about the car in our <a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=108735\">previous article<\/a> or in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingforum.pl\/index.php?showtopic=141621\">RacingForum.pl build thread<\/a>. Marcin started building a new M104 inline-six capable of 600-800 hp. The build began with a 2.8 L motor and Marcin increased the displacement to 3.35 L using a OM648 crankshaft. In the block he installed forged pistons and a girdle. On top sits a ported head with aftermarket camshafts, solid lifters, and MLS gasket. Watch Marcin build the engine in the video below.
