hey Guys, im new on the forum. basically my problem is i've just bought a new 1995 520i se auto, to use as a host for my old 520 Engine (same year and model) after my old one sufferd some bad body damage in an accident. i brought the new car to Huddersfield where i currently am staying however it needs to be at my home in newcastle (130ish miles away) where the other one is for transplant, but unfortunatly the new car started overhating the other day, and it looks like (from experience with another E34 of mine) that the head gasket has gone.
so my question is can i drive it from huddersfield to newcastle without it blowing up and killing myself? bearing in mind the engine will just be scrapped when i put the new one in?
or do i need a trailer?
i'd really appreciate any help guys, i know it can warp the head, but like i said i dont mind as long as i get there and it dosent damage any other components i.e radiator etc.
Thanks Guys
Ross
