        well, an awesome update. My motor is all put together!







        Anyone know what this connector goes to?




        Does this hose go to the chorcoal cannister?




        curious about these wires in the last 2 pics.







        I want to thank first Erick and TJ for helping me get this motor out. my mechanic for giving me great deals on my parts. My buddy Mic for help me assemble it back together.

        and i want to really help everyone on r3v that has helped me out.

        NOW TO PUT IT IN!
        NEED SOME VINYL STICKERS???

                They fit just fine, there's another thread about them, and I just installed mine on Friday night.

                  Nice work.

                  Those headers are so sexy.

                    Your motor mounts are on upside-down.

                            Pull back the rubber boot and see what colors the wires are. No two connectors have the same wire colors.

                            The 2nd to last pic, that just goes to the large lug on the starter. You should use the E30 power cable though. It has the proper termination for the E30 power cable on the passenger side of the car. Otherwise you'll have to crimp a large power connector onto the E36 power cable.
