Good work. Told you its what everyone does... I think its a right of passage or something for first time swaps. Glad to hear its runnin, now get the exhaust on so you can go drive it.

[kronus]

Congrats! That was a smooth and quick swap.

Get her buttoned up and on the road!

congratulations man!

[jahnaboi]

Here you go... don't mind the clanking noise. Lol. I didn't put the shift linkage on with my shift nob so when the motor was on the tranny was spinning and causing the linkage to jump and hit it ever so often.

Thanks for the kudos. Man, I guess I didn't do anything wrong with this swap. I just thought I did and got owned by fuel lines. LOL.

[e30s52]

Aw dont say that! I said the same thing and I had a horrible vibration problem. Welcome to the club..

[318isbmw]

i guess you could say i feel pretty accomplished too.. haha

but damn.
good luck with the exhaust setup and that little clanking noise fix

[jahnaboi]

The clanking noise is my shift lever hitting the spindle of the tranny because it rotates in the air in neutral. I didn't put my shift knob together yet so it was just dangling. Fixed though already. =) Waiting on SQ bimmer for my catless midpipes. =)

Did you get your welded obdII manifolds yet? If not I've got an extra set sitting around.
