928 engine school project
Hi all, I'm about to donate a spare M28/10 to a group of Master (mech engineering) students at a local college.
They have access to all kinds of fancy tools and machines... and they even have facilities to actually run the engine it the lab.
Firs of all they want to rip it apart, or check its overall general condition. From then on, there are no plans so far.
I have a source for some good euro parts, such as 80mm TB, euro S2 cams/heads/intake... that I can get if we come up with a use for it.
I have thought of changes to:
Come on guys, suggestions for things to do with it?

Ohhh! Ohhh! Pick me!
Ummm.
Make it run dependably without needing any maintenance for 100, 000 miles!
Make it get good gas mileage!
Fit it with an ODBC II compliant FI system and distributor less ignition.

Sounds cool!
I would suggest first get it running with the original setup, then install a aftermarket FI and see how much power can be gained just by optimising ignition and fuel. Then with the original engine running optimal, you could start to change out things like intake, ex manifolds, cams, heads and see how this contributes to the power. Then of course you could start to manipulate the original parts!
This could turn out very interesting!

Nothing wrong with the M 28.10 engine
I would reseal the engine completely from top to bottom, get it running sweet (power vs economy) and give the students a project to swap out intake, exhaust, cams with later model engines (928). Do a before and after test if you like, with a goal of 300BHP to reach.
The M 28.10 engine should have 240 BHP @ 5250RPM. I have proven you can get less than 10L/Kilometer (recent road trip burned 650L for 6000K's with no thought of economy during the drive), so a good little runner they are.
