Well I finally got my big list of nuts and bolts from BMA. I was missing a few and replaced a few too.
So this has been a long journey but I am excited today. I got really far with the motor, have it all wired up. This weekend hopefully I will get the tranny bolted up. After that I will be hauling to my BMW mechanic, he said he's "proud" of me keeping a old BMW going so he's going to check her over to make sure this novice didn't mess anything up.
--There are a couple things I might need some of your advice on though.
So whats new...
Basically the entire head, cleaned, valve job, banjo clips..ect.
Euroshark painted my valve cover and intake mani w/ 3.2/3.5 delete. Both are textured black w/ polished stripes/letters.
ALL gaskets are new
Almost all bolts/nuts are new
Mustang injectors
-Tranny has new urethane mounts, M3 tranny support, and motor has Funkmasta's b34 mounts (should be recieving tomorrow)
I know its not quite done yet but its coming along a lot faster then I expected..I have turned EVERY bolt on this thing...took it out of the car alone...everything. I have had the mechanic check over things though
--Here she is with a blown head gasket and a warped to shit head
--Me taking it out
--What it looks like now...Ta Da
So there it is, before I wired it up. I was really inspired by George Graves and how he did his motor so I thought I'd do it similarly..top notch quality.
