My m50 swap

[ahriley91]

Hmmm....what's in my driver's seat?

Can I haz exhaust? :D

[ahriley91]

Thanks man! It's one of the greatest feelings in the world. Oh, and if anybody needed info on the shortening of the shifter linkage, let me know.

[samiam3356]

Nice work man! Getting pretty close to being done on mine as well.

[ahriley91]

Well guys, I finally drove my car after 2 and a half months of not driving it. Was amazing. It was at 12 am and it was with open headers. I most likely pissed the neighbors off, but I don't care. And the measurements I took were dead on. Shorten it on the linkage and the selector rod 2 and 5/8". It works perfectly. Ask me how I know. Now I just gotta get my exhaust stuff and get it fabbed up and then get my new tabs! I am so freakishly happy right now.

[ahriley91]

I can definitely do that for you guys. That should be Friday or Saturday. And as far as measurements go, I measured that it needs to be shortened 2 5/8". I will confirm that though when I get a chance to go to my house and work on it this weekend.

take a bunch of pics when you modify your shift linkage.

This. please. measurements if possible would grant you god-like status.

haha. Yeah. My family was in the house and they just heard a really freakin loud noise and came running outside to see what it was. Very funny moment.

nice!!! is that your dad or whoever capturing the kodak moment? haha.

[ahriley91]

Success!!

Well guys, I finally got the car started. I have a video up. I am so unbelievably happy right now. For those of you who have done the swap, you know how I feel right now, and for those of you who are working on the swap or are going to be doing the swap, you will know how I feel. Things left to do are to get my exhaust fabbed up, get the shifter linkage shortened, and install my driveshaft! And put all the fluids back in. Well, on with the video!!

I was under the impression that I could use the stock E30 transmission cross brace with the E21 tranny mounts to install an E36 tranny in an E30?

Also,
Would these be a nice upgrade over the stock E21 tranny mounts?
