    What was on when you put it in?

    Wondering what you guys leave on the motor when you put it in the car.
    The first time I did it I had just the block and head basically, along with the front end parts (alternator ect) I didn't have the brake booster one either.
    Last night I put one in with the wiring harness, all of the fuel lines, the power steering lines, the intake manifold on, the oil pan on, along with the intake boot, MAF and sensors. The brake booster was also in this time but the first time was a cake walk and I did it by myself, but last night was not so easy. The transmission was on both times.
    What did you leave on when you put the motor in?

    I'm putting my M50 in next week, I had planned to take the intake boot and MAF off and leave everything else.

      I left my intake manifold and wiring harness off. I would have had an easier time if I took off the ac compressor. I do wish I put my eBay rep headers on before dropping it in. The long tubes were a b**** to bolt on afterwards.

        bare block basically. Wiring was installed in the car already, and the trans installed, but that was about it.
        I saved 15% on my Bimmer parts by switching to ...

            I left everything on, including the tranny, only took off the maf and intake boot. Did it all myself, took less than an hour.

                      SS headers are not long tubes, imo I had m20 bavauto headers and the collectors were under the car
