a good day of progress...m50 to s52 swap, pics

[jakeb]

Pull the exhaust last night and then got going early today. car started with a m42, swapped in a m50 last year, almost to the day, now a s52 is going in.

pulled the engine today...swapped just about everything over from the m50 to the s52. Broke a coolant sensor but it seems the m42 is the same as the m50 so I was able to pull one from that. Ordered the obdII-I coolant pipe adapter so I can use the spider hose.

Also doing the e36 rack swap so I should be able to get that pulled soon and engine back in by the end of the week.

a couple pictures...




By the time I came inside it was 89 degrees in the garage.

Can I have a giant garage with a lift? I could rule the world and maybe stay a little cleaner.

Man, I wish my garage looked like that.
