Looking for some info on a E30 M60 with a auto transmission..
My plans are a M60B44 with 5HP18, 404 DME and loom with a M60B40 front timing case.
Any reason why this will not work?
Car is only being built as a Grunty cruiser not building for racing or drifting.
Now I understand the 5HP30 is a bigger stronger box however they are know for their problems and the 5HP18 is a more reliable box.
I'm aware that their is tunnel bashing required with the 5HP30 but I'm hoping to avoid this with the smaller 5HP18. I will probably use garagistic mounts and notch the sump to avoid the subframe spacers.
If the 5HP18 destroys itself I will likely have a gearbox shop build a strong one.
Has anyone done this combo before, can offer any advice on prop shafts ect?
Cheers
