I'm in the process of putting an S52 with ZF trans in my 86 sedan. So far I've done the following:
- replaced valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, pilot bearing, rear main seal, clutch, throwout bearing, thermostat housing, water pump, and main belt
- put the motor and trans in the car and bolted up the engine and trans mounts
- mocked up radiator and hoses
This is my first motor swap and while I've done a lot of reading, I could use some help alone the way. I'm going to use this thread to ask questions and hopefully get some help! Here it goes....
Keep in mind my motor is obd2 that has been converted to obd1 or so I was told.
I thought there was only going to be one harness connector but it looks like they are two. Can you tell me what the difference between these is? Do I keep both?
Also, what are the three white box connector things in the prior picture. It looks like they are supposed to plug in somewhere but I don't see anything on my motor or the e30 chassis harness where they can go.
The e30 radiator had two temp sensors whereas the m42 radiator I'm using only has one plug. Do I delete one?
Thanks in advance for your help
