Need some help quick. I am planning to pull the s52 out of my e30 to fix rust spots in the firewall (damn elephant trunk). The s52 appears to be missing the front lift bracket. Anyone know a part number or have one they want to sell? I need to get it by next weekend. I suppose I could try to fab something up but would like to try and get this part. Any suggestions?
Also, is it easier to pull the motor w/out the trans or both? I'd like to leave the trans in if possible. Is it possible to access all the bolts that connect the trans to motor while it is in an e30?
I can't get to all the header bolts so that will have to stay on also, at least until I can pull it out far enough to access them.
Any help appreciated, this is the first time i've pulled an engine from a car. Hopefully I'll be able to put it back together!
